Bulfinch's Mythology-The Age of Fable

Bulfinch's Mythology is a collection of the works of Thomas Bulfinch, named after him and published after his death. The book is a prose recounting of myths and stories from the three eras, interspersed with his own commentary and with quotations from the writings of Bulfinch's contemporaries which contain a reference to the story under discussion. This combination of classical elements and modern literature was novel for his time.
