[Danielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although this book is extremely long, it is a great source of information for mythography. It discusses in detail several of the methods surrounding myth and provides plenty of sources for further reading. Doty provides a mostly balanced view and I find myself agreeing with the tone and purpose of the book.
