Poetry and Myth

""Poetry and Myth"" by Frederick Clarke Prescott is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between poetry and mythology. The book delves into the ways in which poets throughout history have drawn inspiration from mythological stories and symbols, and how these stories have been transformed and adapted to suit the needs of different cultures and times. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the role of myth in the works of Shakespeare and Milton, to the influence of ancient Greek and Roman myths on modern poetry. Throughout the book, Prescott argues that poetry and myth are inextricably linked, and that the power of poetry lies in its ability to tap into the deep-seated myths and archetypes that shape our understanding of the world. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of literature, mythology, and culture, and offers a compelling exploration of the enduring appeal of mythological themes in poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
