Edward E. Evans-Pritchard  

Definition(s)

  • Sir Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard ranks high among foundational figures in twentieth-century sociocultural anthropology, towering over Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942), whose seminar at the London School of Economics (LSE) initiated him into the discipline in 1924.Born in Sussex, England, of a minister father, Evans-Pritchard had a typical middle-class public school education. Driven, as he later explained, by “tediousness” about history, Evans-Pritchard went from it to anthropology.
