  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

  • Illustrating Classical French Fairy Tales*
    MEDIEVALISM AND MAGIC: ILLUSTRATING CLASSICAL FRENCH FAIRY TALES* Daphne M. Hoogenboezem ‘Once upon a time’: the emblematic opening phrase immediately places fairy tales in a distant but indefinite past. Judging from numer- ous modern illustrated editions for children, however, fairy tales seem to be set against a medieval background. Motifs that are associated with fairy tale books as well as medieval times include Gothic cas- tles with drawbridges, jousting knights and princesses locked up in towers. The setting seems relevant for some well-known tales, which, according to Jan Ziolkowski’s recent study, go back to the medieval period.1 Romantic authors in particular reevaluated popular culture and the Middle Ages. This would explain the medieval setting used in many nineteenth-century tales, including several tales from Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales, 1812–1815). The connection between the classical French tales and the medieval is conveyed not only in the text, but also in the illustrations of Romantic artists like Gustave Doré and George Cruik- shank, who managed to impress the medievalist fairy tale setting firmly on our minds through their monumental fairy tale editions packed with crenellated towers and arched windows. However, these nineteenth-century illustrators did not start the medi- evalist fairy tale imagery, and their chiefly medieval visual interpreta- tion corresponds only partly to the text of the French tales, in which a historical setting is described that is far more ambiguous. Like many fairy tale authors of his day, Charles Perrault gave his fairy tales a medi - eval touch by referring to old towers, tournaments and knights.

  • Beauties Vs Beasts by Tatar.Pdf
    Page 1 of 6 Title: Beauties vs. Beasts in the Grimms' Nursery and Household Tales Author(s): Maria M. Tatar Publication Details: The Brothers Grimm and Folktale. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1988. Source: Short Story Criticism. Ed. Rachelle Mucha and Thomas J. Schoenberg. Vol. 88. Detroit: Gale, 2006. From Literature Resource Center. Document Type: Critical essay Full Text: COPYRIGHT 2006 Gale, COPYRIGHT 2007 Gale, Cengage Learning [(essay date 1988) In the following essay, Tatar examines the textual history of the Bluebeard folktale in Nursery and Household Tales, contrasting narrative elements of "Mary's Child" and "Fowler's Fowl."] Fairy-tale beauties may all be very much alike, but there are two quite different types of beasts in the Grimms' Nursery and Household Tales. First, there are the animal-grooms who make life unpleasant for many a female protagonist: these are the frogs, bears, hedgehogs, and other creatures that press themselves on attractive young girls. But these beasts invariably turn out to be handsome young princes in disguise and generally prove to be perfect gentlemen. The real fairy-tale beasts, even if they are beasts in only the figurative rather than the literal sense of the term, turn out to be murderers masquerading as civilized men: Bluebeard, the Robber Bridegroom (in the tale of that title), and the wizard in "Fowler's Fowl" ("Fitchers Vogel") are the most prominent examples in the Nursery and Household Tales. Bluebeard, the most infamous of this entire lot of beasts, entered the pages of the Grimms' collection, but only in its first edition. For the second, revised edition of 1819, the Grimms eliminated the tale, evidently because it was too close in both substance and verbal realization to its French source.

    Tacoma Opera presents Hansel and Gretel Study Materials - Student’s Edition June, 2021 Contents From Folk Tale to Opera The origins of Hansel and Gretel From folktale to opera - The origins of Hansel and Gretel Folktales Folktales Grimm’s Fairy Tales Hansel and Gretel, the opera Folktales are stories that are passed from person to person. Because they are generally not written down, the same story might exist in many different versions. These stories were especially popular before most people were educated in how to read and write. But we still have different kinds of About the creators folktales today, such as “urban legends.” The Brothers Grimm In time, many folktales were written down. Some of the earliest collections were made in France and Adelheid Wette gave these stories the familiar name of fairy tales, because of the frequent presence of magical Engelbert Humperdinck beings in the stories. These stories were not originally told or written down for children. They contained violence and descriptions of horrible people and their actions. But many of the authors changed some of the traditional elements to make them more suitable for children. Synopsis of the Opera Folktales were often built around individual story elements or events that could be pieced together to make a new story. The original story of Hansel and Gretel probably started in the Medieval Ages Additional Resources during a great famine, and various traditional elements were used to create the story. For example, in the familiar Grimm version, Hansel and Gretel were able to find their way home by leaving a trail of stones.

  • The Wearing and Shedding of Enchanted Shoes
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Universidade do Algarve The Wearing and Shedding of Enchanted Shoes THE WEARING AND SHEDDING OF ENCHANTED SHOES Isabel Cardigos* It is now accepted by most that women have played a large role in the transmission of fairytales. Research carried out by Marina Warner1 and also by Ines Köhler- Zülch2 are landmarks on the subject. However, the argument remains that, despite the strength of the female voice throughout women’s renderings of traditional fairytales, it would somehow appear that the genre is inextricably bound with a patriarchal worldview and is, therefore, becoming more and more obsolete. Try as we may, the fairytale perishes with the dew of consciousness-raising. I know that I am not alone in mourning the passing of fairytales. Research into them is not unlike taking part in a wake. But while doing so, let me share with you – with the help of a handful of Portuguese versions – not the hope of bringing fairytales back to life, nor indeed the denial that they are outrageously patriarchal, but the suggestion that we can perhaps detect in them an old beat which is surprisingly modern and adequate. In order to do so, I have chosen the motif of women’s shoes. We are all aware of the rich cluster of sexual imagery that relates the shoe to the foot. We may call to mind Cinderella’s classic glass shoes, a signal of the easily broken nature of virginity,3 and, in the happy outcome of the story, the couple’s perfect union mirrored in the image of the shoe that perfectly matches the foot.4 It is less obvious, however, that shoes are paradoxical objects in that they constrict feet and yet free them to cover greater distances in space.

  • Clever Hans (Fairy Tale)
    Clever Hans (fairy tale) Clever Hans (in German: der Kluge Hans) was an Orlov Trotter horse that was claimed to have performed arithmetic and other intellectual tasks. After a formal investigation in 1907, psychologist Oskar Pfungst demonstrated that the horse was not actually performing these mental tasks, but was watching the reactions of his trainer. He discovered this artifact in the research methodology, wherein the horse was responding directly to involuntary cues in the body language of the human trainer, who had the Hansâ™s mother asks, âœWhere are you going, Hans?â Hans answers, âœTo Gretelâ™s.â âœBehave yourself, Hans.â âœBehave myself. Good-bye, mother.â âœGood-bye, Hans.â Hans comes to Gretelâ™s. âœGood day, Gretel.â âœGood day, Hans. Are you bringing something good?â âœBringing nothing. Want something.â Gretel gives Hans a needle. Hans says, âœGood-bye, Gretel.â âœGood-bye, Hans.â Hans takes the needle, sticks it into a hay wagon, and walks home behind the wagon.

  • Eucharist and Temptation in Hansel and Gretel
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 1007-1014 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.07.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Ordinary and Special Breads: Eucharist and Temptation in Hansel and Gretel Judith Lanzendorfer University of Findlay, Ohio, USA This article focuses on how Hansel and Gretel, collected by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm in Children’s and Household Tales (1812) should be seen as more than a folktale for small children; it can, instead, be read as a highly theological work related to the Calvinist view of the Eucharist and directed more to young adults and adults. The Grimm brothers, who were strict Calvinists, viewed the tales as being useful in instilling moral lessons to children. As such, Hansel and Gretel can be seen as highlighting the tension between Calvinist and Catholic perspectives on the Eucharist. It is important when teaching the text to consider this culturally relative context. Doing so helps to highlight the original didactic purpose for Children’s and Household Tales and how we can revisit and reclaim the moral initiative of the book in a modern context. Keywords: Grimm, Calvinist, Eucharist, folktale There have been many articles written about Hansel and Gretel, published by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm in 1812 in Children’s and Household Tales. Points of analysis have focused on gender and age (Henneberg, 2010), to the effect that the tale has on the psychological development of the audience members (Wittmann, 2011) to manifestations of the tale in modern media (Rudy & Greenhill, 2014). Perhaps the most influential articles and books, though, are those by Jack Zipes, including the modern English translation of Children’s and Household Tales (2014), to “Who’s Afraid of the Brother’s Grimm: Socialization and Politicization Through Fairy Tales” (1979-1980) to the “Use and Abuse of Folk and Fairy Tales with Children” (1977).

  • Fairy Tales and Political Socialization
    FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership University of Toronto Ontario Institute for Studies in Education © Copyright by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh 2018 FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The concept of childhood is one of the many facets of modernity that entered Western consciousness in the seventeenth century. It emanated from the historical mutations of the post-Renaissance era that set in motion what Norbert Elias calls the civilizing process, one that spawned a repressive mode of socialization in tandem with the cultural and ideological hegemony of the new power elite. Accordingly, childhood became a metaphor for oppression targeting not only children, but also women, the underclass, the social outcast, and the colonized as they all were deemed “incompletely human”. From mid-nineteenth century on, however, childhood began to evince a liberating potential in tandem with the changing direction of modern Western civilization. This ushered in an alternative concept of childhood inspired by the shared characteristics between the medieval and modern child that finds expression in the works of distinguished literary figures of the Victorian era. What followed was an entire movement towards the recognition of children’s rights and status that set the context for the growing interest in childhood as a subject of historical inquiry in the twentieth century. This conceptual vicissitude of childhood is central to the present thesis which I pursue in relation to the literary genre of fairy tale.
