Sinopsis

This classic four-volume series-from a pioneering ethnographer, first published in 1910-remains a foundational work of comparative mythology and religion for scholars and armchair anthropologists alike. Exploring the interconnections between myth and ritual in how and whom we may marry-as group marriage gave way to individual marriage-questions about religion and social structure became intertwined. In any case, this is a fascinating look at the social underpinnings common to all peoples around the globe.Volume I features a reprint of Frazer?s groundbreaking 1887 work Totemism-covering the religious side of totemism, individual totems, sex totems, and more-as well as additional hard-to-find essays by the author. Then begins Frazer?s ethnographic survey of totemism, here covering totemism in Australia.Scottish anthropologist SIR JAMES GEORGE FRAZER (1854-1941) also wrote the classic The Golden Bough (1890), Man, God, and Immortality (1927), and Creation and Evolution in Primitive Cosmogonies (1935).
