About This Item
New York: St Martins Press, 1966. Third Edition. Hard Cover. Used; Very Good/Good. DJ spine darkened, and a little wrinkled at top back, also a bit browned; light soiling to book edges. Printed in Great Britain for MacMillan (London) and St Martins (NYC), only the publishers label at the bottom of the DJ spine identifies the issue. Also the title page has this as Vol. XII but the DJ has it Part VIII. It is, definitely, the entire Bibliography and General Index of the famous study, and that is a very scarce item.
Synopsis
The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer (1854–1941). It first was published in two volumes in 1890; the third edition, published 1906–15, comprised twelve volumes. It was aimed at a broad literate audience raised on tales as told in such publications as Thomas Bulfinch's The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes (1855).
