Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Series 6 consists of folders whose content pertains to Feldman's scholarship on the idea of mythology. This research applied to a range of projects including the book he co-authored with Robert Richardson, ''The Rise of Modern Mythology: 1680 - 1860''. The research and notes also apply to a potential sequel to that work, as well as to a paper on mythology that Feldman authored.
