The Scottish social anthropologist Sir James Frazer (1854 1941)
first published The Golden Bough in 1890. A seminal two-volume work
(reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection), it revolutionised
the study of ancient religion through comparative analysis of
mythology, rituals and superstitions around the world. Following
the completion in 1915 of the revised twelve-volume third edition
(also available in this series), Frazer found that he had more to
say and further evidence to present. Published in 1936, Aftermath
was conceived as a supplement to The Golden Bough, offering his
additional findings on such topics as magic, royal and priestly
taboos, sacrifice, reincarnation, and all manner of supernatural
beliefs spanning cultures, continents and millennia. Sealing
Frazer's profound contribution to the study of religion and
folklore, this work remains an important text for scholars of
anthropology and the history of ideas.
