Scribe 1825
Freytag 1863
Polti 1895
Saussure 1916
Jung 1919
Propp 1928
Egri 1942
Campbell 1949
Levi-Strauss 1964
Keen and Fox, 1973
Swain 1975
Eliade 1976

Pirandello was in my original list but I couldn't find anywhere a description of what he actually wrote or lectured about his version of Jungian archetypes. Similarly, I could not find a clear statement about which myth theorist with which publication had originated the idea that myths explain why the world is the way it is. So yeah, this is a pretty lousy list so far, please help make it better.
