The fairy tale is arguably one of the most important cultural and
social influences on children's lives. But until the first
publication of Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little
attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and
collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to
shape children's lives - their behavior, values, and relationship
to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows in this classic work,
fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being
used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture.
How and why did certain authors try to influence children or social
images of children? How were fairy tales shaped by the changes in
European society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? Zipes
examines famous writers of fairy tales such as Charles Perrault,
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and L.Frank Baum
and considers the extraordinary impact of Walt Disney on the genre
as a fairy tale filmmaker.
