BURTON TRANSLATION: DETAILED TABLE OF CONTENTS
ANDREW LANG 1885 TRANSLATION
Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a Scots poet, novelist, literary critic and contributor to the field of anthropology, who is now best remembered as a collector of folk and fairy tales. He was educated at St. Andrews University and at Balliol College, Oxford, where he took a first class in the final classical schools in 1868, becoming a fellow and subsequently honorary fellow of Merton College. He soon made a reputation as one of the most able and versatile writers of the day as a journalist, poet, critic and historian. His condensed translation of One Thousand and One Nights was published under the title The Arabian Nights Entertainments in 1898.
