Andrew Lang FBA (31 March 1844 - 20 July 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him. Lang is now chiefly known for his publications on folklore, mythology, and religion. The interest in folklore was from early life; he read John Ferguson McLennan before coming to Oxford, and then was influenced by E. B. Tylor. The earliest of his publications is Custom and Myth (1884). In Myth, Ritual and Religion (1887) he explained the "irrational" elements of mythology as survivals from more primitive forms.

Though some of the essays in this volume have appeared in various serials, the majority of them were written expressly for their present purpose, and they are now arranged in a designed order. During some years of study of Greek, Indian, and savage mythologies, I have become more and more impressed with a sense of the inadequacy of the prevalent method of comparative mythology. That method is based on the belief that myths are the result of a disease of language, as the pearl is the result of a disease of the oyster. It is argued that men at some period, or periods, spoke in a singular style of coloured and concrete language, and that their children retained the phrases of this language after losing hold of the original meaning. The consequence was the growth of myths about supposed persons, whose names had originally been mere 'appellations.' In conformity with this hypothesis the method of comparative mythology examines the proper names which occur in myths. The notion is that these names contain a key to the meaning of the story, and that, in fact, of the story the names are the germs and the oldest surviving part.

Excerpt: Thus the student of folklore soon finds that he must enlarge his field, and examine, not only popular European story and practice, but savage ways and ideas, and the myths and usages of the educated classes in civilised races. In this extended sense the term 'folklore' will frequently be used in the following essays. The idea of the writer is that mythology cannot fruitfully be studied apart from folklore, while some knowledge of anthropology is required in both sciences.

In "Custom and Myth," Andrew Lang embarks on a profound exploration of the intricate nexus between folklore, culture, and societal norms, utilizing a blend of anthropological insight and literary elegance. Lang's erudite prose unravels the complex interplay between mythic traditions and customary practices, examining how these narratives shape collective identities and moral frameworks within diverse societies. The book is not merely a compilation of folklore; rather, it is a rigorous academic inquiry into how customs are perpetuated and transformed through myth, reflecting the evolving nature of human experience and understanding. Andrew Lang, a pioneering figure in the field of anthropology and folklore studies, was inspired by his deep-seated interest in the cultural narratives that unite humanity. His extensive travels and academic inquiries illuminated the rich tapestry of traditions that inform social practices. Specifically, Lang's background in classical literature and his emphasis on comparative mythology provide the foundational framework for this work, allowing readers to appreciate the universal themes that transcend time and geography. "Custom and Myth" is indispensable for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of folklore and cultural studies. Its careful analysis and thoughtful interpretations invite the reader to not only reflect on the significance of myths in daily life but also to appreciate the underlying customs that shape societies. This book is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the cultural forces that continue to resonate in the modern world.
