Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

The Golden Bough was originally published in two volumes in 1890. The work was then substantially revised and expanded into twelve volumes, with the final volumes issued in 1915. It is truly a dazzling work of scholarship and learning. After reading this seminal work, one might wonder whether there were any indigenous societies past and present that Sir James did not investigate and cast light on. His mastery of this immense storehouse of ethnological data acted as a much needed corrective to the Eurocentric perspective that was the dominant mode of thinking of his time. Using as its starting point the strange career of the priest of the grove of Nemi, sacred to Diana, who succeeded to his position by the murder of his predecessor and who would in turn be murdered by his successor, The Golden Bough explores myth, magic and ritual the world over, showing how the recurrent themes of the dying and resurrected god permeate the mythic landscape and serve as a paradigmatic constituent of the pre-scientific world view. The Golden Bough was immensely influential in the developing fields of anthropology and ethnology. Malinowski, Radcliffe-Brown and the Cambridge School all acknowledged their great debt to Frazer. But the work also made its influence felt in wider cultural contexts. It opened pathways in the study of mythology that would be trod upon by Jung, Joseph Campbell, Robert Graves and Levi-Strauss and fired the poetic imaginations of Eliot in The Wasteland, Yeats in Sailing to Byzantium as well as their contemporaries Pound, Lawrence and Auden. The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote so much about it that his commentaries were collected and published in book form. Elegantly written, permeated with wise discernment and a delicate sense of irony, The Golden Bough is entirely modern in its outlook. It is a book to be savored, enjoyed and returned to.
