Aphrodite and Venus in Myth and Mimesis is a broad, flexible source book of comparative literature and cultural studies. It promotes the wide-ranging presence and impact of prominent idiosyncratic personalities in fabled goddess mythology and its emphatic notions of endearment and allure. The book brings together seven hundred acknowledged sources drawn from successive historical, global and literary eras, including principal commentaries, along with factual information and important renditions in art, prose and verse, within and beyond mainstream western culture. A lengthy, detailed introduction presents a copious documented preview of the viable adaptation and mimesis of ‘divine’ characterization and its respective centrality from the long distant past to the present day. Myth, rarely latent, demonstrates varied modes of expression and open-ended flexibility throughout the six comprehensive chapters which illuminate and probe, in turn, aspects of the ideological presence, sensibilities, trials and triumphs and interventions of the goddess, whether sacred or profane. Particular literary extracts and episodes range across ancient cultures alongside quite recent expressions of hermeneutics, blending myth with the contemporary in the multi-layered reception or admonishment of the goddess, whether by one designation or the other. As such, this book is wholly relevant to all stages of the evolution and expansion of a dynamic European literary culture and its leading authors and personalities.

First published in 1996. This lavishly illustrated study is a comprehensive literary and social history which offers a record of changing genres, manuscript/book production, and cultural, political, and religious emphases by examining one of the most long lived popular legends in England. Guy of Warwick became part of history when he was named in chronicles and heraldic rolls. The power of the Earls of Warwick, especially Richard de Beauchamp, inspired the spread of the legend, but Guy's highest fame came in the Renaissance as one of the Nine Worthies. Widely praised in texts and allusions, Guy's feats were sung in ballads and celebrated on the stage in England and France. The first Anglo-Norman romance of Gui de Warewic, a Saxon hero of the tenth century was written in the early 13th century; the latest retellings of the legend are contemporary. Examples of Guy's legend can be found in two English translations that survived the Middle Ages, a new French prose romance, a didactic tale in the Gesta Romanorum, and late medieval versions in Celtic, German, and Catalan, as well as English. Guy remained a favorite Edwardian children's story and was featured in the Warwick Pageant, an historical extravaganza of 1906. The patriotism of World War II sparked a resurgence of interest that produced several new versions, mostly folkloric.

The Legend of the City of Ys is the first English translation of Charles Guyot's 1926 French version of this captivating tale from Breton folklore. The legend has its roots in the oral traditions of the Celtic peoples - possibly dating to Neolithic times - and is rich in Breton mythology and lore. During years of retelling, the story underwent many changes: new characters appeared, others faded into the background; plot lines were added and dropped, or were given greater or lesser significance. The story presented here is a synthesis of the numerous oral and written versions of the tale which have emerged over the centuries. This version of the work focuses on the female character, Dahut, ruler of the city of Ys and beloved daughter of King Gradlon. In defiance of the Christian moralizing of Saint Guernole, Dahut persists in delighting her people with nightly revelries and wild displays of pagan ritual, despite repeated warnings of divine wrath. Unaware that the handsome stranger she loves is the devil, Dahut gives him the keys to the dike that protects Ys from the sea. In the midst of a violent storm, the stranger vanishes and the doors to the dike open. The city is engulfed by the sea. Gradlon tries to rescue Dahut, but under their combined weights his magical horse begins to sink. To save the righteous king, Guernole strikes Dahut with his staff, and she falls into the ocean. Instantly, the storm dies and the sea becomes calm once again. But Dahut and the city of Ys have vanished beneath the waves.
