When did fairy tales begin? What qualifies as a fairy tale? Is a true fairy tale oral or literary? Or is a fairy tale determined not by style but by content? To answer these and other questions, Jan M. Ziolkowski not only provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical debates about fairy tale origins but includes an extensive discussion of the relationship of the fairy tale to both the written and oral sources. Ziolkowski offers interpretations of a sampling of the tales in order to sketch the complex connections that existed in the Middle Ages between oral folktales and their written equivalents, the variety of uses to which the writers applied the stories, and the diverse relationships between the medieval texts and the expressions of the same tales in the "classic" fairy tale collections of the nineteenth century. In so doing, Ziolkowski explores stories that survive in both versions associated with, on the one hand, such standards of the nineteenth-century fairy tale as the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and Carlo Collodi and, on the other, medieval Latin, demonstrating that the literary fairy tale owes a great debt to the Latin literature of the medieval period. Jan M. Ziolkowski is the Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin at Harvard University.

Grimms' Fairy Tales are Tales of Childhood and Home. Collection of German folk tales published by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, first in two volumes, published successively on December 20, 1812 and in 1815.The first edition contained 86 stories, but at the seventh edition, in 1857, there were 211 unique fairy tales.From 1806 to 1810, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began collecting folktales and collecting oral stories for publication.The Grimms collected many old books and asked friends and acquaintances in Kassel to tell stories and collect stories from other people.Jacob and Wilhelm sought to collect these stories in order to write a history of old German poetry and preserve history.The influence of these books was prevalent during the Second World War as one of the founding works of Western culture.Grimm Brothers were German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and writers who together collected and published folklore during the 19th century.The brothers were born in Germany. The death of their father in 1796 impoverished the family and affected the brothers for many years afterwards. They attended the University of Marburg where they began a dedication to researching the early history of German language and literature, including German fairy tales. The rise of Romanticism in the 18th century revived interest in traditional folk stories, which for the Grimms and their colleagues represented a pure form of national literature and culture. The Grimm brothers have established a methodology for the collection and recording of popular stories that have become the basis of folk studies. Between the first edition of 1812-15, and the seventh and last edition of 1857, they revised their collection several times, so that it went from 156 stories to more than 200. AuthorsThe Brothers Grimm: Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (1785 - 1863), Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786 - 1859), GermanyAfter graduation from the Friedrichsgymnasium, the brothers attended the University of Marburg. The university was small with about 200 students and there they became painfully aware that students of lower social status were not treated equally. They were disqualified from admission because of their social status and had to apply for the exemption from studying law. The richest students received stipends, but the brothers were excluded even from the help for tuition. Their poverty kept them away from student activities or university social life; Ironically, however, their outsider status worked in their favor, and they continued their studies more vigorously. The brothers were inspired by their law professor Friedrich von Savigny, who aroused in them an interest in history and philology, and they turned to the study of medieval German literature.TransatorLucy Crane (1842-1882) was an English writer, art critic, and translator. She has worked on children's stories and nursery rhymes and has lectured in England on the fine arts. Crane was born in Liverpool in 1842 as the daughter of portrait painter and miniature painter Thomas Crane. His older brother Thomas and his younger brother Walter have both become renowned artists. The crane family left Liverpool for Torquay in 1845. Lucy then went to school in London, and in 1859 the family left Torquay for London. From an early age, Crane has shown considerable taste and skill in drawing and coloring. The circumstances, however, drew her attention to general educational work and she found employment as a housekeeper. She has become an accomplished musician, and has distinguished herself not only by her delicate touch as a performer, but also by the classic refinement of her taste and her knowledge of Italian and English. Crane worked on nursery rhymes and children's stories, and she translated Grimm Brothers' Household Stories collection from German to English in 1882 (Grimm's fairy tales).

A new collection of subversive French fairy tales The wolf is tricked by Red Riding Hood into strangling her grandmother and is subsequently arrested. Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella do not live happily ever after. And the fairies are saucy, angry, and capricious. Fairy Tales for the Disillusioned collects thirty-six tales, many newly translated, by writers associated with the decadent literary movement, which flourished in France in the late nineteenth century. Written by such creative luminaries as Charles Baudelaire, Anatole France, and Guillaume Apollinaire, these enchanting yet troubling stories reflect the concerns and fascinations of a time of great political, social, and cultural change. Recasting well-known favorites from classic French fairy tales, as well as Arthurian legends and English and German tales, the updated interpretations in this collection allow for more perverse settings and disillusioned perspectives—a trademark style and ethos of the decadent tradition. In these stories, characters puncture the optimism of the naive, talismans don't work, and the most deserving don’t always get the best rewards. The fairies are commonly victims of modern cynicism and technological advancement, but just as often are dangerous creatures corrupted by contemporary society. The collection underlines such decadent themes as the decline of civilization, the degeneration of magic and the unreal, gender confusion, and the incursion of the industrial. The volume editors provide an informative introduction, biographical notes for each author, and explanatory notes throughout. Subverting the conventions of the traditional fairy tale, these old tales made new will entertain and startle even the most disenchanted readers.
