Fairy tales have never known geographical, disciplinary, or
cultural borders. In many ways, they provide a model for thinking
about storytelling on a transnational level long before comparative
literature began transforming itself into world literature. As the
simple expression of complex thought, fairy tales have increasingly
become the focus of intense scholarly inquiry. In this Companion,
international scholars from a range of academic disciplines explore
the historical origins, cultural dissemination, and psychological
power of fairy stories, and offer model interpretations of tales
from a variety of traditions and sources, including Charles
Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and the One Thousand and One Nights.
Rather than disenchanting the stories, the essays in this volume
broaden our understanding of them and deepen our appreciation of
the cultural work they do. A chronology and guide to further
reading contribute to the usefulness of the volume for students and
scholars.
