a broad comparative cultural study ofmythology andreligion by Scottish anthropologist SirJames George Frazer (1854-1941). Aimed at a broad literate audience raised on tales as told inBulfinch'sThe Age of Fable, Frazer's book joined themodernists in discussing religion dispassionately as a cultural phenomenon, rather than from within the field of theology itself. Though the final worth of its contribution toanthropology will be newly summed by each generation, its impact on contemporary European literature was unquestionably grand.
