Oxford Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology. First edition. xiii+250 pages with index. Illustrated. Cloth. Fine in fine dustjacket. In 1925 the influential Dutch anthropologist W.H. Rassers posed the question of the relationship of myth to ritual, taking as his case study the Javanese myth of the birth of the man-eating demon, Kala. The light shed by this myth, and its re-enactment, on the social morphology of Java was immediately the subject of debate among students of Javanese culture. In this text, Stephen C.
