Description

Classical Mythology in English Literature is a comprehensive critical anthology that explores how English writers have reinterpreted and reinvented three central classical myths across centuries of literature. The volume begins with a concise introduction to the principal Greco-Roman gods and heroes, providing essential context for understanding the mythological foundations. It then focuses in depth on three enduring stories: Orpheus, the legendary musician whose quest to rescue his wife Eurydice from death has inspired countless interpretations; Venus and Adonis, the tale of the love goddess and the beautiful youth she desired; and Pygmalion, the sculptor whose love for his own creation defies the boundaries between art and life. Each section is carefully structured to help students recognise how these ancient narratives have been adapted, reimagined and transformed by writers throughout English literary history. Published by Routledge, this anthology serves as an essential resource for understanding the profound influence of classical mythology on English literature and the creative ways authors have engaged with these timeless stories.

Key Features

Classical Mythology in English Literature presents three major myths with multiple English literary versions spanning different historical periods.

The anthology includes an introductory section covering principal Greco-Roman gods and heroes to establish mythological context.

Each myth section explores how writers have reinterpreted stories including Orpheus and Eurydice, Venus and Adonis, and Pygmalion.

Routledge's critical anthology approach encourages students to analyse literary techniques and thematic variations across different adaptations.
