Thomas Bulfinch était un banquier à l'allure sérieuse travaillant à la Merchants' Bank de Boston au milieu du XIXe siècle. Bien qu'il passait ses journées à gérer des transactions financières et des registres comptables, cet érudit latin se passionnait pour les récits épiques. Il a consacré son temps libre à l'étude des classiques pour devenir un véritable passeur de rêves entre le monde de la finance et celui de l'Olympe.
Publié en 1855, L'Âge de la Fable est le premier volet de la Mythologie de Bulfinch. L'ambition de Thomas Bulfinch était de démocratiser des récits complexes, autrefois réservés à une élite polyglotte, pour les rendre accessibles au lecteur général. Il souhaitait que chacun puisse comprendre les références culturelles de son temps en créant un pont entre l'Antiquité, la poésie et la littérature moderne.
En 2026, l'œuvre de Thomas Bulfinch reste une porte d'entrée magistrale vers la culture générale car elle ne se contente pas de lister des faits. Le banquier de Boston a compris que nous avons besoin de ces histoires pour donner du sens à notre monde. Son travail explique comment les mythes ont infusé le théâtre et la poésie, permettant ainsi de décoder les fondements de notre littérature classique.
