Download or read book Telling Tales written by David Blamires and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany has had a profound influence on English stories for children. The Brothers Grimm, The Swiss Family Robinson and Johanna Spyri's Heidi quickly became classics but, as David Blamires clearly articulates in this volume, many other works have been fundamental in the development of English chilren's stories during the 19th Centuary and beyond. Telling Tales is the first comprehensive study of the impact of Germany on English children's books, covering the period from 1780 to the First World War. Beginning with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, moving through the classics and including many other collections of fairytales and legends (Musaus, Wilhelm Hauff, Bechstein, Brentano) Telling Tales covers a wealth of translated and adapted material in a large variety of forms, and pays detailed attention to the problems of translation and adaptation of texts for children. In addition, Telling Tales considers educational works (Campe and Salzmann), moral and religious tales (Carove, Schmid and Barth), historical tales, adventure stories and picture books (including Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz) together with an analysis of what British children learnt through textbooks about Germany as a country and its variegated history, particularly in times of war.

Book The Dream of the North

    Book Details:
  • Author : Peter Fjagesund
  • Publisher : Rodopi
  • Release : 2014-05-10
  • ISBN : 9401210829
  • Pages : 569 pages

Download or read book The Dream of the North written by Peter Fjagesund and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern Europe and North America have dominated the world stage for more than two centuries. Using a wide range of sources, this book provides the first coherent account from a multi-national perspective of the ideas and perceptions that, from the Renaissance onwards, fuelled the North’s rise to prominence, and enabled it to rival the traditional cultural and political hegemony of the South. This includes not only the fascinating conquest of the polar regions, but also the religious upheaval of the Reformation, the changing view of nature engendered by Romanticism, and, not least, the revival of ancient Nordic and Celtic culture. Finally, the book offers an indispensable historical background to current events in the Far North, where the past and the future meet in a complex web of dramatic environmental concerns, the exploitation of natural resources, and the strategies of politics and commerce.

Book The Tell Tale  An Original Collection of Moral and Amusing Stories

Download or read book The Tell Tale An Original Collection of Moral and Amusing Stories written by Catharine Parr Strickland Traill and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catharine Parr Strickland Traill's 'The Tell-Tale: An Original Collection of Moral and Amusing Stories' is a captivating work that combines moral lessons with entertaining narratives. This collection of stories is written in a straightforward and engaging style, making it accessible to readers of all ages. Each tale offers a valuable lesson while also providing entertainment, making it a valuable addition to the literary landscape of the time. Traill's stories reflect the societal values and norms of the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the moral framework of the time. The language is rich and descriptive, drawing readers into the lives of the characters and the lessons they learn. Catharine Parr Strickland Traill, a Canadian author and pioneer, drew on her own experiences to write 'The Tell-Tale'. Her deep understanding of human nature and her keen observations of society are reflected in the stories she tells. Traill's background as a settler in the Canadian wilderness adds depth and authenticity to her storytelling, making her work both relatable and insightful. I highly recommend 'The Tell-Tale: An Original Collection of Moral and Amusing Stories' to readers who enjoy engaging narratives that also offer valuable lessons. Traill's work is a testament to the power of storytelling in shaping moral values and entertaining readers at the same time.
