Description

Friedrich Max Muller (1823-1900) was a German comparative philologist whose scholarly work fundamentally shaped Victorian intellectual culture. After travelling to Britain in 1846 to translate the Rig Veda, Muller secured appointment as Taylor Professor of Modern Languages at Oxford in 1854, where he remained for the rest of his life. His 1856 book-length essay on Comparative Mythology became foundational to evolutionist thought and influenced leading Victorian thinkers. Published by Routledge, this comprehensive study examines how Muller's pioneering work in philology transformed British academic discourse, religious studies, and anthropological thinking throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Discover the intellectual legacy of one of the era's most significant scholars and his lasting impact on modern language study, mythology interpretation, and Victorian society.
