THIS EXCITING and comprehensive anthology -- the first anthology of
German women's fairy tales in English -- presents a variety of
published and archival fairy tales from 1780 to 1900. The authors
of these stories used fairy tales to explain their own lives, to
teach children, to examine history, and to critique society and the
status quo. Powerful and conflicted females are queens, girls on
quests, mothers, daughters, magical wisewomen, and midwives to the
fairies; they love, hate, murder, save children, fight tyranny,
overcome cannibals, and rescue the working poor.
Jeannine Blackwell's introduction places the tales in their
historical, social, and critical context, and Shawn C. Jarvis's
afterword presents a thematic analysis of the texts and approaches
to reading them in conjunction with other European and American
tales.
