First published in 1939 and long out of print, this book remains
unique as the only full and detailed account by a social
anthropologist of a complete pagan Polynesian ritual cycle. This
new single-volume edition omits some of the Tikopia vernacular
texts, but includes a new theoretical introduction; postscripts
have also been supplied to some of the chapters comparing the
performances of 1928-9 with those witnessed by Professor Firth on
his second visit to Tikopia in 1952. There is a specially written
Epilogue on the final eclipse of the traditional ritual, based on a
third visit by the author during the summer of 1966.
