Description
Fairy Tale offers a comprehensive critical and theoretical introduction to the genre. It explores how folklorists have defined the fairy tale, assesses various methodologies used in its analysis and interpretation, and provides a detailed account of its historical development as a literary form.
The book engages with major ideological controversies that have shaped critical and creative approaches to fairy tales in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It demonstrates that the fairy tale is a highly metamorphic genre that has flourished in diverse media, including oral tradition, literature, film, and the visual arts.
