Golden Bough Stockists

A classic study of the beliefs and institutions of mankind and the progress through magic and religion to scientific thought The Golden Bough has a unique status in modern anthropology and literature. First published in 1890 The Golden Bough was eventually issued in a twelve-volume edition (1906-15) which was abridged in 1922 by the author and his wife. That abridgement has never been reconsidered for a modern audience. In it some of the more controversial passages were dropped including Frazer's daring speculations on the Crucifixion of Christ. For the first time this one-volume edition restores Frazer's bolder theories and sets them within the framework of a valuable introduction and notes. A seminal work of modern anthropolgy The Golden Bough also influenced many twentieth-century writers including D H Lawrence T S Eliot and Wyndham Lewis. Its discussion of magical types the sacrificial killing of kings the dying god and the scapegoat is given fresh pertinence in this new edition.
