This influential work on comparative mythology takes on a scholarly controversy that raged at the time over the origin of mythology. Is myth "a disease of language," as Max Muller claimed, or does it, as the Lang argues here, reflect the spiritual needs of humans? Lang makes the case for an anthropological study of mythology. A fascinating treatise on the study of modern mythology the construction of myths so soon after an event. Andrew Lang was the foremost scholar in folklore and mythology of his time.
