Renowned for his contributions to folklore and anthropology, Andrew Lang was a Scottish poet and novelist whose work focused on the intersection of myth, ritual, and religion. His early interest in folklore was shaped by influential figures like John Ferguson McLennan and E. B. Tylor. Notable publications include "Custom and Myth," which laid the groundwork for his exploration of cultural narratives, and "Myth, Ritual and Religion," where he examined the primitive roots of mythology. Lang's legacy continues through the lectures named in his honor at the University of St Andrews.
