The most ancient civilizations, the most barbarous savages, of whom we have any knowledge have yielded to investigators clear traces of the possession of this practise. The specimens of their narrative that have been gathered from all the ends of the earth and from the remotest times of which we have written record show traces of pur­ pose, now religious and didactic, now patriotic and political; but behind or beside the purpose one can discern the permanent human delight in the story for its own sake. The oldest of stories are the myths: not the elaborated and sophisti­ cated tales that one finds in, say, Greek epic and drama, but the myth pure and simple. This is the answer of primitive science to the question of the barbaric child, the explanation of the thunder or the rain, of the origin of man or of fire, of disease or death. The form of such myths is accounted for by the belief known as "animism," which assumed per­ sonality in every object and phenomenon, and conceived no distinction in the kind of existence of a man, a dog, a tree, or a stone. Such myths are still told among, e. g., the American Indians, and the assumption just mentioned accounts for such features as the transformation of the same being from a man into a log or a fish, or the marriage of a coyote and a woman. Derived from this state of belief and showing signs of their origin, are such animal stories as form the basis of the artistically worked- up tales of "Uncle Remus." Thus in primitive myth, the divinities of natural forces are not personi­ fications, for there was no figure of speech involved; the storm, the ocean, and the plague were to the mythmakers actually persons. The symbolical element in literary myths is a later development, possible only as man gradually arrived at the realization of his separateness in kind from the non-human objects of his senses. With this realization came the attempt to adapt the myths that had come down from more primitive times to his new way of thinking, and the long process of making the myths reason­ able and credible set in. But while the higher myths were being thus transformed into the religions of the civilized man, the ways of thinking that had produced them in their original form survived to some extent in stories of less dignity, which made no pretensions to be either science or religion but which were told only because they entertained. Tales of this kind have 7 8 INTRODUCTORY NOTE come down from mouth to mouth in less sophisticated communities to our own day, and are now being killed out only by the printing-press and the diffusion of the art of reading. But happily many have been collected, and they are represented in the present volume by the "Marchen" or household tales preserved by Grimm. Far earlier written down, but less primitive in kind, are the itsopic Fables. In these allegorical tales, the form of the old animistic story is used without any belief in the identity of the personalities of men and animals, but with a conscious double meaning and for the purpose of teaching a lesson. The fable is a product not of the folk but of the learned; and though at times it has been handed down by word of mouth, it is really a literary form. Still more recent, both in kind and in date, are the Wonder stories of modern manufacture represented here by the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. This nineteenth-century Dane had a marvelous knack of entertaining children by repeating old folk-tales of the type collected by Grimm; and his success in this led him on to attempt inventing new ones. The new ones were successful, too; but though the incidents were often suggested by traditional stories, Hans Christian Andersen's finished products are to be regarded as a form of modern fiction worked out under the influence of more or less primitive folk-tales. &SOP is little more than the shadow of a name. He was a slave from the island of Samos, who flourished, according to Herodotus, about the middle of the sixth century before Christ; and his name is associated with the special use of the fable for political purposes at a time when the reign of the tyrants in Greece made unveiled speech dangerous. About two hundred and fifty years after iEsop's time, Demetrius of Phaleron col­ lected a large number of fables and called them by jEsop's name, and a version of these was turned into Latin verse by one Phardrus in the time of Augustus.

Author of Chronicles of Man, Through Russia in War Time WITH 4 PIRATES LONDON KEGAN PAUL. TRENCH, TRUBNER & Co., Ltd. NEW YORK : E. P. BUTTON & Co. A Printed Great Britain by BovvERiNG & Co., St. Andrev.'s Printing Works, George Street, Plymouth. PREFACE RILOFF is such a remarkable figure in Russian literature, and his Fables are so interesting and admirable that I have ventured to render eighty-six of them into English. No prose translation can do this poet-fabulist justice, but a rendering in metrical fonns, corresponding with his own, may give readers some idea of his merits. If it be recalled that the source of most fables is hidden in the mists of antiquity, then Kriloff 's originality can scarcely fail to be a recommendation. He wrote, in all, 201 fables and there seems little doubt that, in four-fifths of them, he was not indebted to anyone.

  • GET 3930 German Fairy Tales
    Dr. Franz Futterknecht 263B Dauer Hall Tel.: Office: 273-3781 Home: 375-8575 e-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: T 8 period and R 9 period and by arrangement GET 3930 German Fairy Tales T 7 & R 7-8 TUR 2354 The major historical developments that took place during the Romantic period are: - The French Revolution - The Restauration - The Industrial Revolution - The Market Revolution - The Modernization of German States (administration, education, economic, societal structures, population migration) All of these events, especially the failure of the French Revolution, challenged the German intelligentsia to develop new philosophical, political, and social theories. These theories aimed to provide cultural orientations appropriate for the new historical situation. Surprisingly, the Romantics recommended as one effective therapy for the ailments of modernity fairy tales. Course Objectives: - to understand why the Romantic Movement in the late 18th and 19th centuries could initiate a very successful revival of ancient folk and fairy tales; - to understand why the Romantics began to write their own fairy tales and declared this traditional genre to be one of the most relevant forms of literature of their day; - to understand why the collections of old folk tales became so popular as children’s literature in German families; - to read folk and fairy tales as a literary genre with merit beyond the entertainment of children; - to understand the cultural role of folk and fairy tales (as well as other ancient narratives such as sagas and myths)
