"Myths and Dreams" is a fascinating treatise on early belief systems in primitive societies by English writer Edward Clodd. Within it's pages, Clodd explores what these things meant to early societies and the various different theories that existed around the world. Contents include: "It's Primitive Meaning", "Confusion of Early Thought Between the Living and the Not Living", "Personification of the Powers of Nature", "The Solar Theory of Myth", "Belief in Metamorphosis into Animals", "Totemism: Belief in Descent From Animal or Plant", "Survival of Myth in History", etc. Edward Clodd (1840 - 1930) was an English writer, banker, and anthropologist famous for his various and notable literary and scientific friends, including the likes of Edward Fitzgerald, Samuel Butler, Andrew Lang, and others. Other notable works by author include: "The Childhood of the World" (1872), "Jesus of Nazareth" (1880), and "Nature Studies" (1882). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of readers now and for years to come.
