| Summary |
"Franz Steiner's study of Taboo is internationally recognised as a classic in its field. A major new introduction based on archival research offers, for the first time, a biography and critical study of Franz Steiner and his unpublished papers, placing the book and related essays in the context of British and European thought but also showing his importance for contemporary debates, among them deconstruction and Orientalism."--BOOK JACKET. "A key aspect of Steiner's achievement lies in his attempt to reconcile detailed, faithful ethnographic analysis with anthropological comparison. His analysis of taboo thus provides a case study with wide-ranging ramifications. This new edition makes a classic text available once again to students and general readers."--BOOK JACKET |
