Add to basketFirst edition, first impression, uncommon, of this study by the trailblazing Polish anthropologist. Developing themes from her Oxford lectures, she attacks the evidentiary basis of German-Ottoman Pan-Turanianism, arguing that the Turks of Central Asia descend from China's Xiongnu and have little in common with Ottoman Turks. Mar…ia Czaplicka (1884-1921) devoted her academic career to north Russia and Central Asia. Following the publication of Aboriginal Siberia in 1914 - a study of the literature on the topic - she led an Oxford University-University of Pennsylvania joint expedition to the region to study the nomadic reindeer herders living north of the Arctic Circle. In 1916, following her return to Britain, she published an introductory account of her experiences (My Siberian Year) and was appointed lecturer in ethnology at the University Museum - a reflection of her status as one of the leading field researchers of her day. Inhibited, however, by renewed discrimination against women in British academic life in the post-war period, she committed suicide in 1921, a much-anticipated scholarly monograph on her Siberian explorations still unfinished. Czaplicka began studying at the LSE in the same year as her Polish compatriot, Bronislaw Malinowski, and played a small but important part in his rise to academic fame. In 1914, Czaplicka helped convince her Oxford mentor Robert Marett - the dedicatee of the present work - to fund Malinowki's plans for an extended research trip to Melanesia. The fruits of this fieldwork would be Argonauts of the Western Pacific (1922), a work which fundamentally reshaped the paradigms of Western anthropology. See Frances Larson, Undreamed Shores: Five Women Who Sought Out the World, 2022. Octavo. With folding map. Original blue buckram, spine lettered in gilt, fillets blocked to boards in blind, top edge trimmed, others untrimmed. Recent pencil annotations on title page; ex-Emory University library, with its shelf label at foot of spine, ink stamp and Hartford Collection bookplate on front pastedown, record cards on rear endpaper, and several unobtrusive blind and ink stamps internally. Binding sturdy, cloth a little rubbed and worn, text clean, map without tears: a very good copy.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. First edition of the author's first book; 8vo, pp. xiv, [2], 374, [2]; 2 folding maps and 16 plates from photographs; original red cloth, gilt-stamped spine; small snag in the spine, else a very good, sound copy with notes on the endpapers of Saul Jarcho, M.D. and with occasional underlining in the text in chapter…s dealing with shamanism (see below). Jarco (1906-2000) was an American internist and historian of medicine. See Wikipedia (and elsewhere) for a good account. Czaplicka (1884-1921) "was a Polish cultural anthropologist who is best known for her ethnography of Siberian shamanism. Czaplicka's research survives in three major works: her studies in Aboriginal Siberia (1914); a travelogue published as My Siberian Year (1916); and a set of lectures published as The Turks of Central Asia (1918) . [She studied] at the Faculty of Anthropology of the London School of Economics under Charles G. Seligman, and at Somerville College, Oxford under R.R. Marett, graduating from the School of Anthropology in 1912. Marett encouraged her to use her Russian language skills in a review of literature on native tribes in Siberia, which became her book Aboriginal Siberia, published in 1914 . Marett had intended the work reported in Czaplicka's Aboriginal Siberia to be the basis for fieldwork in Siberia. In May 1914, she began such fieldwork, partly funded by the Mary Ewart Travelling Scholarship granted by Somerville College, leading a joint expedition of Oxford University and University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology staff" (Wikipedia).

Add to basketFirst edition, first impression, rare, of the first work by Maria Czaplicka, the trailblazing Polish anthropologist and the first full-time female lecturer at the University of Oxford. Czaplicka (1884-1921) devoted her academic career to north Russia and Central Asia. This publication, a study of the literature on Siberian anthr…opology, laid the foundations for her leadership of an Oxford University-University of Pennsylvania joint expedition to study the nomadic reindeer herders living north of the Arctic Circle. In 1916, following her return to Britain, she published an introductory account of her experiences (My Siberian Year) and was appointed lecturer in ethnology at the University Museum - a reflection of her status as one of the leading field researchers of her day. Inhibited, however, by renewed discrimination against women in British academic life in the post-war period, she committed suicide in 1921, a much-anticipated scholarly monograph on her Siberian explorations still unfinished. Czaplicka began studying at the LSE in the same year as her Polish compatriot, Bronislaw Malinowski, and played a small but important part in his rise to academic fame. In 1914, Czaplicka helped convince her Oxford mentor Robert Marett - who contributed a preface to Aboriginal Siberia - to fund Malinowki's plans for an extended research trip to Melanesia. The fruits of this fieldwork, Argonauts of the Western Pacific (1922), fundamentally reshaped the paradigms of Western anthropology. Provenance: Sir William Ridgeway (1853-1926), Cambridge University's Disney Professor of Archaeology from 1892 to 1926, with his bookplate. Ridgeway shared research interests and corresponded with Barbara Freire-Marreco (1879-1967), Czaplicka's good friend and fellow recipient of the Mary Ewart Traveling Scholarship. Freire-Marreco was the first female graduate student in anthropology at Oxford. Octavo. With 16 half-tone plates and 2 folding maps. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, panels blocked in blind. Spine sunned, extremities rubbed and bumped, last two plates sometime tipped back in and a little tight at gutter, top edges of printed area slightly impacted, maps lightly foxed.
