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
the classical culture which had for so long been a model for
Western civilisation, 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.
The twelve-volume third edition, reissued here, was greatly revised
and enlarged, and published between 1911 and 1915; the two-volume
first edition (1890) is also available in this series. Volumes 10
and 11 (1913) continue to examine taboo behaviour, and consider the
role of sunlight and firelight in ritual.
