Illustrated with a frontispiece to 'Magic Art' Volume 1. In the publisher's original gilt cloth. This influential and comprehensive work on religion and mythology was written by the Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer. Frazer was a key figure in the development of modern studies of mythology and comparative religion. Many of his key beliefs centred around the concept of human beings progressing through three stages; primitive magic; religion; and finally science. The Golden Bough, despite being an extremely detailed and wide-ranging work of comparative religion was published with the intention of appealing to all audiences, including those outside of academia. The work addresses the shared elements of religious beliefs and scientific thought, with reference to the variety of symbolism and practices indicative of cultural development. Upon publication, the work was met with immediate success and went through many editions in the author's lifetime. In the publisher's original cloth. Externally very smart with bumping to the head and tail of the spines, small closed tears to the head of the spine to the majority of the volumes with slight loss to the head of 'The Magic Art', slight leans to the odd volume and light fading to the spines. Very light offsetting to the endpapers. Internally firmly bound with clean and generally bright pages with very minimal age toning. Offsetting to the half title to 'The Dying God'. Very Good Indeed
