520 _a"The Golden Bough: A Study in Comparative Religion (Vol. 2 of 2)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study first published in 1890. This ambitious work examines mythology and religion across cultures, exploring fertility rites, human sacrifice, dying gods, and scapegoats. Frazer argues that ancient religions were fertility cults centered on sacred kings sacrificed seasonally, and that humanity progressed from magic through religion to science. Though it scandalized Victorian Britain and later faced scholarly criticism, it profoundly influenced twentieth-century literature and thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
