A novelist, poet, literary critic and anthropologist, Andrew Lang
is best known for his publications on folklore, mythology and
religion; many have grown up with the 'colour' Fairy Books which he
compiled between 1889 and 1910. This three volume set presents a
selection of his work in these areas. The first volume covers the
general and theoretical aspects of Lang's work on folklore,
mythology and anthropology along with the tools and concepts which
he used in his often combative contributions to these inter-related
disciplines. Collectively, the General Introduction to the set and
the Introductions to the individual volumes offer a thorough
overview of Lang's work in an astonishing variety of fields,
including his translation work on Homer and his contributions to
historiography (particularly Scottish). Headnotes to the individual
items are of varying length and provide more detail on specific
topics, and explanatory notes supply unique intellectual comment
rather than merely factual information.
