The linguist and philologist Jacob Grimm (1785 1863) is best
remembered as co-editor, with his brother Wilhelm, of Grimm's Fairy
Tales, though their great Deutsches W rterbuch remains an
influential etymological reference work. Grimm's exhaustive study
in comparative mythology and religion, Deutsche Mythologie, was
first published in German in 1835: this English translation,
published between 1880 and 1888, is of the posthumous fourth German
edition of 1875. Drawing on his broad knowledge of language and
world mythology, Grimm outlines a wide variety of themes in
Germanic folklore (such as time, creation, destiny and the soul),
comparing them to classical and oriental tales as well as charting
the influence of Christianity on legends and on Pagan religion.
Volume 3 focuses on the pre-Christian view of evil, and the concept
of the devil. Erudite and full of detailed insight, this is a
resource for scholars of mythology, religion and German cultural
history.
