Description

Andrew Lang FBA (31 March 1844 - 20 July 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology.

He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales.

The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him.

Lang is now chiefly known for his publications on folklore, mythology, and religion.

The interest in folklore was from early life; he read John Ferguson McLennan before coming to Oxford, and then was influenced by E.

B. Tylor. The earliest of his publications is Custom and Myth (1884).

In Myth, Ritual and Religion (1887) he explained the "irrational" elements of mythology as survivals from more primitive forms.
