The Grass of Parnassus is a collection of essays and literary criticism by Scottish writer and folklorist Andrew Lang. The book was first published in 1892 and contains Lang's thoughts on a variety of topics, including literature, mythology, and folklore.The essays in The Grass of Parnassus cover a wide range of subjects, from Shakespeare and the classics to Scottish ballads and fairy tales. Lang brings his extensive knowledge of literature and folklore to bear on these topics, offering insightful and often humorous commentary on the works he discusses.One of the key themes of the book is the relationship between literature and mythology. Lang argues that mythology is an essential part of human culture and that it has a profound influence on literature. He explores this theme in essays such as The Mythology of Shakespeare and The Survival of Mythology Among the Celts.Another important theme of the book is the importance of storytelling. Lang believes that storytelling is a fundamental human activity and that it has played a crucial role in the development of human culture. He discusses this theme in essays such as The Art of Story-Telling and The Ballad.Overall, The Grass of Parnassus is a fascinating and thought-provoking collection of essays that will appeal to anyone interested in literature, mythology, and folklore. Lang's insights and observations are as relevant today as they were over a century ago, and his writing is both engaging and accessible.Nay, not in Kor, but in whatever spot, In town or field, or by the insatiate sea, Men brood on buried loves, and unforgot, Or break themselves on some divine decree, Or would o'erleap the limits of their lot, There, in the tombs and deathless, dwelleth SHE!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
