Autor

Andrew Lang (1844–1912) was a prolific Scottish writer and poet known for his work as a collector of fairy tales and folklore. Lang's academic pursuits spanned anthropology, mythology, and history, reflecting a keen interest in the roots of societal traditions and stories. 'Social Origins and Primal Law,' one of his notable anthropological explorations, delves into the early development of human societies and the foundational structures of ancient legal systems. Lang's methodological approach combined a comparative and evolutionary perspective, which was influential at the time. His scholarly endeavors were complemented by his literary craftsmanship; Lang's style is characterized by an elegance and clarity that renders complex concepts accessible and engaging. Beyond 'Social Origins and Primal Law,' Lang's legacy is cemented by his enchantingly curated 'Fairy Books' series—a collection of folk and fairy tales from around the world, color-coded by hue (e.g., 'The Blue Fairy Book'). His contributions to literature and exploration of cultural phenomenons have left an indelible mark on the fields of anthropology and literary folklore, offering timeless enrichment to readers and scholars alike.
