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 was first 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 Age of Fable.
It offered a modernist approach to discussing religion, treating it dispassionately
as a cultural phenomenon rather than from a theological perspective.
