LETTERS 330 $aThis is a collection of selected letters by (and to) Sir J.G. Frazer, the anthropologist and historian of religion, and author of 'The Golden Bough'. It offers insight into British intellectual life at the turn of the century, and illuminates the composition and reception of 'The Golden Bough' itself. 330 $bThis is a fully annotated edition of selected letters by (and in some cases to) Sir J. G. Frazer (1854-1941), the eminent anthropologist, classicist, and historian of religion. Frazer was read by virtually everyone working in those fields in the first third of the twentieth century. His great work, The Golden Bough, offered a grand vision of humanity's mental and spiritual evolution - from vain attempts to compel the gods to do our bidding (which Frazer called magic) through equally vain attempts to propitiate the gods through prayer and sacrifice (his characterization of religion) to rationality and science. His richly varied correspondence with prominent figures such as Edmund Gosse, A. E. Housman, and Bronislaw Malinowski, among others, offers an unparalleled insight into British intellectual life of the time, and also throws light upon the composition of The Golden Bough itself. 606 $aMythologists$vCorrespondence 606 $aMythologists$vBiography 615 0$aMythologists 615 0$aMythologists 676 $a201.3092 686 $a11.01$2bcl 686 $aLB 27800 F848$2rvk 700 $aFrazer$b James George$f1854-1941.$061951 702 $aAckerman$b Robert 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820720903321 996 $aSelected letters of Sir J.
