I thought the Golden Bough had been largely discredited, as his personal fantasy rather than based on sound research?

I'll see what I can find.

Ocifant - academics say that they've discreditted Frazer's theories (Hutton in particular, as you know). I love his imagination, though! And you can't deny that its a hell of a compendium of folklore, even if you completely ignore his interpretations of it.

Is available to read online, in case anyone's interested...
