Download or read book The Fairy Tale World written by Andrew Teverson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 905 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fairy Tale World is a definitive volume on this ever-evolving field. The book draws on recent critical attention, contesting romantic ideas about timeless tales of good and evil, and arguing that fairy tales are culturally astute narratives that reflect the historical and material circumstances of the societies in which they are produced. The Fairy Tale World takes a uniquely global perspective and broadens the international, cultural, and critical scope of fairy-tale studies. Throughout the five parts, the volume challenges the previously Eurocentric focus of fairy-tale studies, with contributors looking at: • the contrast between traditional, canonical fairy tales and more modern reinterpretations; • responses to the fairy tale around the world, including works from every continent; • applications of the fairy tale in diverse media, from oral tradition to the commercialized films of Hollywood and Bollywood; • debates concerning the global and local ownership of fairy tales, and the impact the digital age and an exponentially globalized world have on traditional narratives; • the fairy tale as told through art, dance, theatre, fan fiction, and film. This volume brings together a selection of the most respected voices in the field, offering ground-breaking analysis of the fairy tale in relation to ethnicity, colonialism, feminism, disability, sexuality, the environment, and class. An indispensable resource for students and scholars alike, The Fairy Tale World seeks to discover how such a traditional area of literature has remained so enduringly relevant in the modern world.

Book excerpt: Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Aladdin, Sinbad, the Little Mermaid, Tom Thumb, Thumbelina, the Frog-Prince, the Three Bears, the Three Little Pigs, and the Ugly Duckling. Fairy tales are among the first stories most children hear. They are almost universal, originating from countries all over the world, passed down from generation to generation. The have been collected by such famous names as The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, and Andrew Lang. Many have been updated over the years, and others even adapted into films. All the editions in this compilation are as they were originally presented. Over the years, many of them have changed. For example, Goldilocks never actually met the three bears. In some versions of Little Red Riding Hood, the hero dies, while in others, she lives happily ever after. We have endeavored to include those versions that are dramatically different in this volume, as well as those written in both verse and prose. Most of you will discover that these are not the Disney versions of familiar stories, nor are they necessarily politically correct. These are the original versions, in their entirety, dating back to the 1600s, and some of the spellings, words, and concepts might seem a bit dated. We feel that they are all tales worth telling, retelling, and passing on to future generations. We couldn't include all of them, and if your favorite is not in this book, perhaps it will appear in another volume. So, without further ado, we proudly present, the greatest fairy tales the world has ever told.

Book excerpt: "By taking a close look at materials no previous twentieth-century critic has seriously investigated in literary terms--ephemeral journalism, moralistic tracts, questions-and-answer columns, 'wonder' narratives--Paul Hunter discovers a tangled set of roots for the early novel.

Download or read book A Cultural History of Fairy Tales in the Age of the Marvelous written by Suzanne Magnanini and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have fairy tales from around the world changed over the centuries? What do they tell us about different cultures and societies? Drawing on the contributions of scholars working on Italian, French, English, Ottoman Turkish, and Japanese tale traditions, this book underscores the striking mobility and malleability of fairy tales written in the years 1450 to 1650. The essays examine how early modern scientific theories, debates on the efficacy of witchcraft, conceptions of race and gender, religious beliefs, the aesthetics of landscape, and censorial practices all shaped the representations of magic and marvels in the tales of this period. Tracing the fairy tale's swift movement across linguistic and geographic borders, through verse and prose versions, from the printed page to the early modern stage, this volume demonstrates the ways in which these fantastic literary texts explored the ideological borders constructed by different societies. An essential resource for researchers, scholars and students of literature, history and cultural studies, contributors explore themes including: forms of the marvelous, adaption, gender and sexuality, humans and non-humans, monsters and the monstrous, space, socialization, and power. A Cultural History of Fairy Tales (6-volume set) A Cultural History of Fairy Tales in Antiquity is also available as a part of a 6-volume set, A Cultural History of Fairy Tales, tracing fairy tales from antiquity to the present day, available in print, or within a fully-searchable digital library accessible through institutions by annual subscription or on perpetual access (see www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).
