Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Renowned for his contributions to folklore and mythology, Andrew Lang was a Scottish poet and critic whose work significantly influenced the study of anthropology. His early interest in folklore was shaped by notable figures like John Ferguson McLennan and E.B. Tylor. Lang's publications, including "Custom and Myth" and "Myth, Ritual and Religion," explore the complexities of mythology, interpreting its irrational aspects as remnants of primitive beliefs. His legacy continues through the Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews.
