N.J. (‘Nick’) Allen had an extensive academic career, which for the most part was spent in Oxford. He passed away in 2020. This edited volume brings together a selection of his anthropological papers. They cover two major fields and a supplementary one: Indo-European mythical comparison and his own notion of tetradic kinship, supplemented by a long-term interest in the work of Marcel Mauss and his uncle Émile Durkheim.It follows key areas of his research in which his contributions were novel, innovative, stimulating and plausible.
