THERE is no need of many words in introducing the old familiar friends of fairy-land, who never fail of a welcome from those, not yet too old to feel the power of their fascination. The following collection of tales has been made in the assurance that, among the younger readers are for whom they intended, the genuine fairy tale is still without a as a source of interest and amusement rival, ; as a source of instruction alsc, might with truth be added, for, apart from the homely wisdom which underlies most fairy tales, there is in severa- of them a touch of the fable, which, of all forms, is the most acceptable and convincing for the transmittance of moral teaching. The tales from " " the Gammer Grethel series, are given in the " " version, published in the Bohn Library from the admirable translation by Mr Edgar Taylor, which has, vii Vlll PREFACE for its readers the tales many years past, delighted ; " from the "Kinder und Hans-M'archen have been newly translated.

The youngest was called Dummling which is much the same as Dunderhead, for all thought he was more than half a fool and he was at all times mocked and ill-treated by the whole household. It happened that the eldest son took it into his head one to into the wood to cut fuel and his day go ; mother gave him a nice pasty and a bottle of wine to take with him, that he might refresh himself at his work. As he went into the a little wood, old man bid him good day, " and Give a little said, me piece of meat from your plate, and a little wine of out your bottle, for I am very hungry and " thirsty."

And the same little old man met him also, and asked him for something to eat and drink. But he too thought him- " self very clever, and said, The more you eat the less " for : there would be me so go your way ! The little man took care that he too should have his reward, and the second stroke that he aimed against a tree hit him on the so that he too was forced to leg ; go home.

  • Translations of Fairy Tales Between National Mobilization and Commodification German Children’S Literature in Nineteenth-Century Croatia
    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 117–132 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.005.0859 MARIJANA HAMeršak TRANSLATIONS OF FAIRY TALES BETWEEN NATIONAL MOBILIZATION AND COMMODIFICATION German Children’s Literature in Nineteenth-century Croatia Abstract: A brief overview of translation within folklore studies and children’s literature studies leads to the focal point of this article: nineteenth-century Croatian versions of German fairy tales. The analysis concentrates on the textual and paratextual features of the Croatian texts, their relationship to the source texts and their involvement in national integration. Moreover, they are examined as part of empirical research in the history of reading: children’s reception of German children’s books in nineteenth- century Croatia. Finally, they are discussed from the book history perspective: adoption of German children’s literature genres and publishing strategies in the field of nineteenth- century Croatian children’s literature. The discussion of these three aspects indicates that the appropriation of German fairy tales in nineteenth-century Croatian society followed various (oral, written, German-language, Croatian-language) routes and had different outcomes. The complexity of these processes reminds us that literature is not only a symbolic (written, textual), but also a material (reading, editing, publishing) enterprise. It also reminds us that children’s literature is entangled not only in concepts of childhood and literature, but also in other cultural concepts such as nation and class. Keywords: fairy tales, Croatian children’s literature, German children’s literature, translation, appropriation, nineteenth century, material book culture, nation, class Fairy tale scholarship has been interested in translations for a long time.

  • Fairy Tales in European Context Gen Ed Course Submission: for Inquiry – Humanitites
    GER 103: Fairy Tales in European Context Gen Ed Course Submission: for Inquiry – Humanitites 2 lectures PLUS 1 discussion section: Professor Linda Kraus Worley 1063 Patterson Office Tower Phone: 257 1198 E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: Wednesdays 10 - 12; Fridays 10 – 12 and by appointment FOLKTALES AND FAIRY TALES entertain and teach their audiences about culture. They designate taboos, write out life scripts for ideal behaviors, and demonstrate the punishments for violating the collective and its prescribed social roles. Tales pass on key cultural and social histories all in a metaphoric language. In this course, we will examine a variety of classical and contemporary fairy and folktale texts from German and other European cultures, learn about approaches to folklore materials and fairy tale texts, and look at our own culture with a critical-historical perspective. We will highlight key issues, values, and anxieties of European (and U.S.) culture as they evolve from 1400 to the present. These aspects of human life include arranged marriage, infanticide, incest, economic struggles, boundaries between the animal and human, gender roles, and class antagonisms. Among the tales we will read and learn to analyze using various interpretive methods are tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, by the Italians Basile and Straparola, by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French writers such as D‘Aulnoy, de Beaumont, and Perrault, by Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde. We will also read 20th century re-workings of classical fairy tale motifs. The course is organized around clusters of Aarne, Thompson and Uther‘s ―tale types‖ such as the Cinderella, Bluebeard, and the Hansel-and-Gretel tales.

When exaggerated rumors of his skill spread throughout the village, the tailor is brought before the cowardly king and given the tasks of battling not only two troublesome giants, but also a fierce dragon. Only time will tell if he can summon the courage to prove to himself that one need not be big to be strong.

BEFORE THE PLAY Read a version of “The Brave Little Tailor” with your class. How do you think reading the book is different from watching the play? How might things from the book, such as the forest, the Tailor’s shop, and the great big giant, come to life onstage? Have students think of a time when they were in a situation that was very challenging for them. Did it challenge them in a positive way or a negative way? How did they handle it? What was the outcome? ATTENDING THE PLAY Theatre requires a large team of really talented people to create a show.

While we will concentrate on the German context, and in particular the works of the Brothers Grimm, but will also consider fairy tales drawn from a number of different national traditions and historical periods, including contemporary American pop culture. Various strategies for interpreting fairy tales will be examined, including methodologies derived from structuralism, folklore studies, gender studies, and psychoanalysis. We will explore pedagogical and political uses and abuses of fairy tales. We will investigate the evolution of specific tale types and trace their transformations in various media from oral storytelling through print to film, television, and the stage. Finally, we will consider potential strategies for the reinterpretation and rewriting of fairy tales. Taught in English. No prerequisites.
