Who was Wilhelm Mannhardt?
Wilhelm Mannhardt was a German scholar and folklorist. He is known for his work on Baltic mythology, as a collector, and for his championing of the solar theory.
He carried out field work despite poor health. His work was a forerunner of James Frazer's; like Frazer, his theories have subsequently been heavily criticised.
