Reading edition
For an extensive presentation of the ethnographic evidence see Sir J. G. Frazer, Taboo and the Perils of the Soul, London, 1911, pp. 131-223; idem, Balder the Beautiful, London, 1913, i, 22-100, ii, 225-278. The whole subject is most suggestively treated by Professor A. van Gennep, Les rites de passage, Paris, 1909.
