About this book
In an era marked by the burgeoning field of mythological studies, Andrew Lang's "Modern Mythology" emerges as a critical examination of prevailing theories. Engaging with the works of Professor Max Muller, Lang challenges the philological approach to mythology, advocating instead for a more anthropological perspective. He delves into the complexities of myth creation, exploring themes such as cultural symbolism and the evolution of belief systems. This scholarly critique is essential for students, civic activists, and historians seeking to understand the interplay between language and mythology. Lang's incisive analysis invites readers to reconsider the foundations of myth, making "Modern Mythology" a pivotal text in the discourse on cultural narratives and their significance.
