Book Synopsis
Many studies have examined the ways in which folklore has provided inspiration for other forms of culture, especially literature and cinema. In Superman in Myth and Folklore, Daniel Peretti explores the meaning of folklore inspired by popular culture, focusing not on the Man of Steel's origins but on the culture he has helped create.

Trade Review
"Daniel Perretti’s Superman in Myth and Folklore (University Press of Mississippi) is a fascinating examination of the cultural and societal ramifications of the character, as seen through the eyes of a variety of admirers. [...] Perretti approaches his subject from a variety of other perspectives, making for a fascinating (if specialist) study." — DVD Choices
