The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 11 of 12)
"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 11 of 12)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study published between 1906-1915. This groundbreaking work explores mythology and religion across cultures, tracing humanity's intellectual evolution from magic through religious belief to scientific thought. Frazer examines fertility rites, human sacrifice, dying gods, and scapegoats, proposing that ancient religions centered on seasonal sacred king rituals. Though it scandalized Victorian
Britain and later faced academic criticism, this influential work profoundly shaped twentieth-century literature and thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
