Through revisiting and challenging what we think we know about the
work of Edward Burnett Tylor, a founding figure of anthropology,
this volume explores new connections and insights that link Tylor
and his work to present concerns in new and important ways. At the
publication of Primitive Culture in 1871, Tylor was at the centre
of anthropological research on religion and culture, but today
Tylor's position in the anthropological canon is rarely
acknowledged. Edward Burnett Tylor, Religion and Culture does not
claim to present a definitive, new Tylor. The old Tylor - the
founder of British anthropology; the definer of religion; the
intellectualist; the evolutionist; the liberal; the utilitarian;
the avatar of white, Protestant rationalism; the Tylor of the canon
- remains. Part I explore debates and contexts of Tylor's lifetime,
while the chapters in Part II explore a series of new Tylors,
including Tylor the ethnographer and Tylor the Spiritualist,
re-writing the legacy of the founder of anthropology in the
process. Edward Burnett Tylor, Religion and Culture is essential
reading for anyone interested in the study of religion and the
anthropology of religion.
