Robert A. Segal is Reader in Theory of Religion at the University of Lancaster, England. His most recent books include Jung on Mythology and The Myth and Ritual Theory.
The study of theories of myth is important for all the 'human
sciences,' ranging from classics to anthropology to history to
psychoanalysis, and Robert Segal is at the top of this field. He is
very good at what he does. There is no other analysis of theories
of myth like this." ―Robert Ackerman, author of J. G. Frazer and
The Myth and Ritual School
"The analytic scholarship in this book is sharp and current, and
deals with significant writers. This is a useful collection of
critical essays, especially suitable for adoption in undergraduate
courses in literature, anthropology, folklore, psychology, and
religious studies." ―Ivan Strenski, University of California,
Riverside
