"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 12 of 12)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study first published in 1890. This monumental work explores mythology and religion across cultures, examining fertility rites, human sacrifice, dying gods, and sacred kingship. Frazer proposes that humanity's understanding evolved from magic through religion to science, finding common threads in ancient rituals and beliefs. Though it scandalized Victorian Britain
and later faced academic criticism, the work profoundly influenced twentieth-century literature and thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
