"The Evolution of the Dragon" is a set of three connected essays on the symbolism and development of the concept of the dragon in world mythology. The author of this book, G. Elliot Smith, was a diffusionist, a school of thought popular in the late 19th and early 20th century which attempted to trace diverse cultural phenomena to unitary geographic points of origin, which is present in the essays from this edition.
