This volume offers a critical analysis of one the most ambitious editorial projects of late Victorian Britain: the edition of the fifty substantial volumes of the Sacred Books of the East (1879-1910). The series was edited and conceptualized by Friedrich Max Müller (1823-1900), a world-famous German-born philologist, orientalist, and religious scholar. Müller and his influential Oxford colleagues secured financial support from the India Office of the British Empire and from Oxford University Press. Arie L. Molendijk documents how the series has become a landmark in the development of the humanities-especially the study of religion and language-in the second half of the nineteenth century. The edition also contributed significantly to the Western perception of the 'religious' or even 'mystic' East, which was textually represented in English translations. The series was a token of the rise of 'big science' and textualized the East, by selecting their 'sacred books' and bringing them under the power of western scholarship.

Excerpt from Chips From a German Workshop, Vol. 2: Biographical Essays Great men, depend upon it, do not come down from the sky like shooting stars. They come in the fulness of time; and if we want to understand their true character, we must try to understand that fulness of time, that is, the time that lay behind and the time that lay before them. W'e must know the work that others had done before them, in order to understand the work that they themselves were meant to do. Rfimmohun Roy, the originator of the Indian Re formation, a reformation that is still going on slowly, silently, but, for all that, irresistibly, died fifty years ago. N ow fifty years may not seem to some of us a very long time. It is quite possible that a few who are present here to-night may remember the Rajah's visit to Bristol. Yet fifty years are half a century, and remember that, according to the received chronology, not more than sixty such centuries are supposed to form the canvass for the whole history of the world, or, at least, for as much of it as we shall ever know. Remember that we have accustomed ourselves to believe that only one hundred and twenty such short periods as have passed since the death of Rammohun Roy, that is to say, no more than 6000 years - a stretch of time that might almost be spanned by the memory of sixty men - separate us from what will always remain the most miraculous of all miracles, and, at the same time, the most certain of all facts the appearance on this earth of a being, capable of language, that is, of reason; a being which, when it came to be conscious of its dignity, called itself Man, or, in Sanskrit, 211mm, which means the measurer, the thinker, the discoverer and the giver of laws.

Marjorie Wheeler-Barclay argues that, although the existence and significance of the science of religion has been barely visible to modern scholars of the Victorian period, it was a subject of lively and extensive debate among nineteenth-century readers and audiences. She shows how an earlier generation of scholars in Victorian Britain attempted to arrive at a dispassionate understanding of the psychological and social meanings of religious beliefs and practices—a topic not without contemporary resonance in a time when so many people feel both empowered and threatened by religious passion—and provides the kind of history she feels has been neglected. Wheeler-Barclay examines the lives and work of six scholars: Friedrich Max Müller, Edward B. Tylor, Andrew Lang, William Robertson Smith, James G. Frazer, and Jane Ellen Harrison. She illuminates their attempts to create a scholarly, non-apologetic study of religion and religions that drew upon several different disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, the classics, and Oriental studies, and relied upon contributions from those outside as well as within the universities. This intellectual enterprise—variously known as comparative religion, the history of religions, or the science of religion—was primarily focused on non-Christian religions. Yet in Wheeler-Barclay’s study of the history of this field within the broad contexts of Victorian cultural, intellectual, social, and political history, she traces the links between the emergence of the science of religion to debates about Christianity and to the history of British imperialism, the latter of which made possible the collection of so much of the ethnographic data on which the scholars relied and which legitimized exploration and conquest. Far from promoting an anti-religious or materialistic agenda, the science of religion opened up cultural space for an exploration of religion that was not constricted by the terms of contemporary conflicts over Darwin and the Bible and that made it possible to think in new and more flexible ways about the very definition of religion.
