The Golden Bough by James George Frazer
This greatly revised and enlarged twelve-volume third edition (191115) of the controversial work by Sir James Frazer (18541941) applies the techniques of comparative ethnography to classical religion. Volume 3 (1911) is concerned with the concept of taboo, and its presence in all religious systems.
SIR JAMES GEORGE FRAZER (1854-1941) was one of the early pioneers in the sociological study of religion. He began his career as a classicist but it is for his work in social anthropology that he is best remembered. His most famous work, The Golden Bough first appeared in 1890 in a two-volume edition but was twice revised and expanded, the third edition appearing in twelve volumes in 1911-15 and a thirteenth volume, Aftermath, appearing some twenty years later. Frazer's other works include Psyche's Task, Totemism and Exogamy, The Belief in Immortality and The Worship of the Dead and Folklore in the Old Testament.
