This work by Sir James Frazer (1854 1941) is widely considered to
be one of the most important early texts in the fields of
psychology and anthropology. At the same time, by applying modern
methods of comparative ethnography to the classical world, and
revealing the superstition and irrationality beneath the surface of
classical culture, and also by examining Christianity using the
same techniques, it was extremely controversial. Frazer was greatly
influenced by E. B. Tylor's Primitive Culture (also reissued in
this series), and by the work of the biblical scholar William
Robertson Smith, to whom the first edition is dedicated. That
edition, reissued here, was published in two volumes in 1890; the
third edition, greatly enlarged to twelve volumes, and published
between 1911 and 1915, is also available in this series. Volume 2
pursues the motif of human sacrifice through the mythology and
practices of other cultures.
