Bulfinch's Mythology
The Age of Fable; The Age of Chivalry; Legends of Charlemagne
Bulfinch's Mythology brings together in one volume three books by Thomas Bulfinch, a Boston bank clerk who wanted to make the stories behind English literature available to general readers. The Age of Fable, first published in 1855, retells the myths of Greece and Rome, with chapters on Norse, Egyptian and Eastern mythology. The Age of Chivalry tells the legends of King Arthur and his knights, together with the Welsh tales of the Mabinogion. Legends of Charlemagne follows Roland, Rinaldo and the paladins as they appear in the Italian romances. Bulfinch writes simply, quotes the poets who used the myths, and his book has stayed in print for generations. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
