This book explores the appropriation and transformation of classical mythology by French culture from the mid-twelfth century to about 1430. Each of the five chapters focuses on a specific moment in this process and asks: What were the purposes of transforming classical myth? Which techniques did poets use to integrate classical subject matter into their own texts? Was a special interpretive tradition created for vernacular texts? In Chapter 1, the author shows how Latin epic texts were reoriented for political purposes in the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman realm, gaining new depth by the addition of Ovidian elements that evoked threats of a disorder different from the struggles of classical epic. Chapter 2 analyzes the complex use of myth in the thirteenth-century Roman de la Rose, which offers new conjunctions and interpretations of myths related to language, artistic expression, and sexuality. Chapter 3 focuses on the interpretive techniques and vocabulary of the fourteenth-century Ovide moralisé, such as "allegory," "fable," and istoire, arguing that the Christianization of the Metamorphoses created a "new Ovid" in the form of a fourteenth-century friar. Chapter 4 reveals that, although Guillaume de Machaut questioned the usefulness of mythic fables, he turned to them to invoke artistic consolation and ward off threats to his poetic voice. It also describes how Jean Froissart produced new myths by combining existing fables with newly invented elements in an attempt to dramatize the poetic creativity of his age. Finally, Chapter 5 demonstrates how Christine de Pizan offered the full range of medieval possibilities for myth: playing with the mythographic tradition, inscribing herself into Ovidian myths, offering historical explanations, rewriting myths from a pro-woman stance, and finally creating mythic universes of her own.

From Dante and Shakespeare to James Joyce and Margaret Atwood, writers have felt the need to draw on archaic narrative patterns. But if myths are just 'false stories', why do we keep telling them? In this lively book, Laurence Coupe brings order to a vast and complex area of interest by giving any student new to the field a clear two-stage account of the study of myth. The first part, 'Reading Myth', starts from the works that most students will already know, such as Eliot's The Waste Land and Coppola's Apocalypse Now. On the basis of these, the reader is gradually acquainted with the key mythic themes, such as that of the dying god. In the second part, 'Mythic Reading', the focus is on the key mythic theories, such as those of Freud or Frye, as they might be applied to a variety of literary and cultural texts. However, it soon becomes clear that the reading of myth and the making of myth are complementary activities - 'reading myth' is also 'mythic reading'. Coupe's overall thesis is that myth, far from being something to leave behind, as the 'rational' argument has it, is always in the process of being recreated. There is, he claims, an intimate connection between myth, language, narrative, history and imagination. Thus we can only begin to understand classic literature, contemporary film or popular song by first taking into account its mythic dimension. Myth is an essential guide which draws on many exciting ideas comparatively new to literary and cultural theory.
