Aftermath : A Supplement to The Golden Bough Paperback / softback
by James George Frazer
Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Classics series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Scottish social anthropologist Sir James Frazer (1854–1941) first published The Golden Bough in 1890.
A seminal two-volume work (reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection), it revolutionised the study of ancient religion through comparative analysis of mythology, rituals and superstitions around the world.
Following the completion in 1915 of the revised twelve-volume third edition (also available in this series), Frazer found that he had more to say and further evidence to present.
Published in 1936, Aftermath was conceived as a supplement to The Golden Bough, offering his additional findings on such topics as magic, royal and priestly taboos, sacrifice, reincarnation, and all manner of supernatural beliefs spanning cultures, continents and millennia.
Sealing Frazer's profound contribution to the study of religion and folklore, this work remains an important text for scholars of anthropology and the history of ideas.
