Grimms' Fairy Tales: A History of Criticism on a Popular Classic (Literary Criticism in Perspective) - Hardcover
This study surveys scholarly criticism of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" from its publication to the present. It sets out to reveal the changing perception of fairy tales, from the initial assumption that they were derived from ancient sources, and the consequent interest in the origin of the genre and evidence for ancient ritualistic practice, to the study of the fairy tale as a literary genre, distinct from other types of popular narrative. Ideological critics are seen to pursue the meaning of the tales, and folklorists to examine cultural sources and story-telling as performance art.
