Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-21 00:00:00 Mal Hip I met Gaster once in a bookstore, and accidentally insulted him by snobsplaining about the extent of the abridgement of Frazer's The New Golden Bough. Gaster, of course, had done the abridgement. He was very kind and pleased that I knew what he was talking about at all.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-08 00:00:00 Debby Weinberger Certainly interesting, but nothing revolutionary. The standard hype from 50 years ago about how ancient myth, ritual, and drama all centers on the agricultural cycle and the themes of death vs. fertility. I'm afraid the current academic trend has so heavily fought against parallelomania that I can't take this book without a lot of salt.
