Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a prolific Scots man of letters, a
poet, novelist, literary critic and contributor to anthropology. He
now is best known as the collector of folk and fairy tales. He was
educated at the Edinburgh Academy, St Andrews University and at
Balliol College, Oxford. As a journalist, poet, critic and
historian, he soon made a reputation as one of the ablest and most
versatile writers of the day. Lang was one of the founders of the
study of Psychical Research, and his other writings on anthropology
include The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (1897), Magic and Religion
(1901) and The Secret of the Totem (1905). He was a Homeric scholar
of conservative views. Other works include Homer and the Epic
(1893); a prose translation of The Homeric Hymns (1899), with
literary and mythological essays in which he draws parallels
between Greek myths and other mythologies; and Homer and his Age
(1906). He also wrote Ballades in Blue China (1880) and Rhymes la
Mode (1884).
