THE CLASSIC MYTHS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE AND IN ART (Revised and Enlarged Edition) Accompanied by an Interpretative and Illustrative Commentary By CHARLES MILLS GAYLEY Professor of the English Language and Literature, University of California 12mo, cloth, xli +597 pages, illustrated, $1.80 THE purpose of this work is to familiarize students and general readers with 1. The Greek, Roman, Norse, and German myths which have acclimated themselves in English-speaking lands and have influenced the spirit, form, and habit of English imaginative thought. 2. The uses to which these myths have been put in English and American poetry. 3. The principal masterpieces of ancient and modern sculpture and painting, illustrative of mythological subjects. 4. The history of myth and the more evident interpretations of the various narratives recited in the text. In the new edition the former order of materials has been altered in accordance with the advice of the teachers who have had longest and most successful experience with the book. Some of the myths have been restated, others have been expanded, and some narratives, before omitted, have been included. The selection of cuts is almost entirely new, more liberal, and more representative of the history of art. The more difficult of the ancient figures are interpreted and the sources indicated. The illustrations have been entirely remade at great expense, and in artistic and technical rendering are equaled in no other book of a similar nature. The introduction includes a section on the Classic Myths in their Relation to Art, especially prepared by Dr. Edmund von Mach, who has also assisted in the selection of the illustrative cuts. The book is adapted to the needs of pupils of the eighth to the tenth grade in our schools, and to use as a guide to paintings and sculptures of mythological subjects in museums and galleries.
