Ronald L. Grimes offers a systematic theory and method essential for the cross-cultural, interdisciplinary study of ritual enactments.

Trade Review
A great deal can be gained by consulting his passages about ritual times, objects, languages, and 'what rituals do'. Highly recommended. * A. F. Roberts, Choice, *
For anyone hoping to gain a foothold in ritual studies, this book offers the opportunity to learn from an expert scholar who wears his own learning with grace and wry humour. * Bridget Nichols, Anaphora *
