The Elementary Structures of Kinship

Beschreibung

London, Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1969 (first English translation)/ 1967 (revised French edition)/ 1949. Octavo, xlii, 541 pages with 87 figures. Cloth; top edge dyed pink (now unevenly faded); a near-fine copy with the excellent dustwrapper (lightly chipped, with one tiny tear). Translated from the original French by James Harle Bell, John Richard von Sturmer and Rodney Needham (also the editor). Not least, Indigenous Australia (pages 146 to 229). The 'Postscriptum' to the 'Editor's Note' by Dr Needham states in part: 'In the new preface, which he modified especially for this edition and which was not supplied until after the translation and editing had been reported complete, Professor Lévi-Strauss indirectly charges the editor with a "fundamental misunderstanding" of the very title and subject matter of the book, and imputes to him (admittedly in excellent company) a fallacious assimilation of elementary structures to prescriptive marriage which is alleged to have seriously misled later commentators on the theory' (page xix).
