Frazer, James (George) (1854–1941)Scottish anthropologist. Frazer's book The Golden Bough (12 volumes, 1890–1915), a pioneer study of the origins of religion and sociology on a comparative basis, exerted considerable influence on subsequent anthropologists and writers such as T S Eliot and D H Lawrence. By the standards of modern anthropology, many of its methods and findings are unsound. Frazer became a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge in 1876. He was knighted in 1914, and awarded the Order of Merit in 1925.
