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.
