Book Description

A pioneer in comparative philology, Friedrich Max Müller (1823–1900) is credited with popularising the subject in Victorian Britain. His hugely successful Royal Institution lectures, first published in two volumes in 1861–4, explore a range of philological topics and were reprinted fifteen times before the end of the century.
