Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Two classic volumes in Very Good condition, both unread, matching trade-size & sold together. THE GOLDEN BOUGH: A Study in Magic and Religion, by Sir James George Frazer, Macmillan Paperback Edition 1963, 1 Volume Abridged by the Author, 864pp. in the Strimbans cover, intact w/slight external shelfwear. + THE WHITE GODDESS: A Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth, by Robert Graves, Farrar Straus and Giroux 1966, Amended & Enlarged Edition, 511pp. in a clean & bright yellow cover. / "THE GOLDEN BOUGH describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, magic, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that the primitive life was a simple one, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a nightmare of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values." [publisher copy] "Dip into Frazer's Golden Bough and sense something of the mesh of fear and suffering and regimentation and bloody sacrifices from which civilization has meant to escape."--Harry Woodburn Chase. "A tumultuous, enthralling encyclopedia. . . one of the 20th century's most influential books."--Time. " / "The earliest European deity was THE WHITE GODDESS of Birth, Love and Death, visibly appearing as the New, Full and Old Moon, and worshipped under countless titles. She was beautiful, generous, fickle, wise, implacable. The White Goddess is far more than a long-discredited pagan deity. She is still alive, and her worship takes many strange forms both inside and outside the conventions of Western morality. In particular, she continues as the Ninefold Muse, patroness of the white magic of poetry. [] Here then is a historical grammar of poetic myth, with the more important magical elements logically deduced from scattered relics of several allied mystery-cults. It not only explains the obscure power that English romantic poetry exercises on the reasonable people of today, but provides practical solutions to many of the apparently insoluble riddles of antiquity--'What song the Sirens sang,' 'What name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among the women,' 'Where shall Wisdom be found?' and 'How to untie the Gordian Knot,' 'Who cleft the Devil's foot?'" Though old, both unread volumes--I never got around to them--have brilliant corners & crisp edges, bright & unmarked pages, square & tight bindings w/no creases in spines.…
