Overview

1898. With special reference to the recent mythological works of the Rt. Hon. Prof. F. Max Muller and Mr. Andrew Lang. The leaders in England of two schools of mythology, based mainly in the one case on Aryan linguistics and in the other on anthropology, had recently published their revised, and probably final, conclusions. The author decided the time seemed opportune for a statement of the principles of a third school which Brown styled the Aryo-Semitic. This volume is divided into three Parts: Professor Max Muller's last pronouncement on mythology; Mr. Lang's latest attack upon Professor Muller; and Aryo-Semitic school of Hellenic mythologists.
