"Parts I and II are substantial and useful surveys of cultural and literary theory and its development, and are pretty well packed with suggestive general ideas. But for many readers the twenty-one essays of Part III, dealing with specific and more of less familiar works, may be the most provocative. These studies exemplify mythic criticism in action, in interpretations of a wide variety of authors and works, mainly of prose fiction. . . . This volume helps to consolidate the value and the diverse uses of myth for both artist and critic. . . . [Professor Vickery''s] book should appeal both to the large body of the sophisticated and to what one may imagine as an also large number of people who have known that ''myth'' has been very much in the air but have not been initiated into either philosophic theory or critical practice." -- Douglas Bush "Harvard Educational Review"
