In the twenty-first century, American culture is experiencing a
profound shift toward pluralism and secularization. In Fairy Tales
in Contemporary American Culture: How We Hate to Love Them, Kate
Koppy argues that the increasing popularity and presence of fairy
tales within American culture is both indicative of and
contributing to this shift. By analyzing contemporary fairy tale
texts as both new versions in a particular tale type and as wholly
new fairy-tale pastiches, Koppy shows that fairy tales have become
a key part of American secular scripture, a corpus of shared
stories that work to maintain a sense of community among diverse
audiences in the United States, as much as biblical scripture and
associated texts used to.
