This book explores the legacy of the Brothers Grimm in Europe and North America, from the nineteenth century to the present. The book reveals how the Grimms came to play a pivotal and unusual role in the evolution of Western folklore and in the history of the most significant cultural genre in the world—the fairy tale. Folklorists Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm sought to discover and preserve a rich abundance of stories emanating from an oral tradition, and encouraged friends, colleagues, and strangers to gather and share these tales. As a result, hundreds of thousands of wonderful folk and fairy tales poured into books throughout Europe and have kept coming. The book looks at the transformation of the Grimms' tales into children's literature, the Americanization of the tales, the “Grimm” aspects of contemporary tales, and the tales' utopian impulses. It shows that the Grimms were not the first scholars to turn their attention to folk tales, but were vital in expanding readership and setting the high standards for folk-tale collecting that continue through the current era. The book concludes with a look at contemporary adaptations of the tales and raises questions about authenticity, target audience, and consumerism. The book examines the lasting universal influence of two brothers and their collected tales on today's storytelling world.

Abstract The paper explores the theme of mysticism in Laurence Housman’s fairy tale “The Moon-Flower” (1895). It presents the main assumptions of a Victorian inner journey toward a mystical union and analyses symbols which construct the inner landscape which undergoes a mystic transformation. The author attempts to show the metamorphosis of the fairy tale’s main characters and identify its roots in both fairy tale and religious traditions. It is argued that Victorian fairy tales reflect a credible quintessence of the universe. The retold tales of an archetypical quest full of powerful symbols uncover the sublime world hidden under the dull reality. Hence, “The Moon-Flower” is believed to tell the story of inner transformation and open the doors to the myriad stories which were told before and create countless possibilities of interpretation.

The article is devoted to the analysis of fairy-tale material from the folklore collection of the Omsk local historian I. S. Korovkin whose wide collection of folklore materials is stored in the folklore archive of the Omsk State Pedagogical University. The article will focus on the texts of fairy tales written by a collector from a Siberian performer Anastasia Stepanovna Kozhemyakina, manuscripts of these recordings are stored in the folklore archive of the Pedagogical Uni- versity. Of the 40 fairy tales recorded by Korovkin from the performer, the author of the article was able to identify (from archival records and published materials) 36 texts. The repertoire represents the Russian old-time tradition of Siberia. Tales by A. S. Kozhemyakina reflect the process of the existence of a folklore text in the oral tradition (which is typical for the late XIX - early XX centuries). The bearers of the tradition have a certain “baggage” or a set of elements specific for a particular genre (poetic, content) in order to “form” a text from these elements when reproducing it. "Forming" a fairy tale, Kozhemyakina takes out any element, image, plot episode, etc. from her fairy-tale "baggage". It includes not only fairy-tale, but also epic episodes, formulas, elements, as well as images, plot conflicts from adventure stories or novels. Fairy-tale contaminations are also peculiar. They are as well due to the specifics of the oral existence of fairy tales. A special publication of this fairy-tale heritage with scientific commentary on each text is needed.


Studying the folk epic genres of the epic fantasy for two centuries was a discursive expression of the positions of representatives of different folkloric schools. Starting in the 19th century with commentary collections, the fairy tale genre has gained tremendous scope for study in synchrony and diachrony, affecting a wide range of tangible sciences: philosophy, history, sociology, archeology, anthropology, biology, geography, cultural studies, psychology, linguistics and dialectology. Encouraged by the rich folk-poetic heritage and scientific research of the preceding scientists of the nineteenth century and folklorists of the twentieth century prepared the ground for a deep exploration of the fairy tales. It has become a cultural phenomenon, the object of studies and researches in various fields of knowledge (mostly humanitarian), natural sciences and exact (mathematical) sciences. The nature of the fairy tale, in its very basics, is philosophical: it is wise, effective (fairytale therapy), explains many phenomena of being in a society. According to comparativists, a fairy tale is a philosophy of a certain ethnos in verbal and non-verbal (semiotic, text) form. The article is deals with evaluation of the discourses in the Ukrainian fairylore concerning various aspects of the studying of folk tales: putting texts on paper, studying different folkloristic schools, the relationship of the storyteller’s personality with his social role, etc. Attention is drawn to the dynamics of fairylore as a separate branch of science, with a sufficiently well-developed apparatus for studying folk epics. The theoretical concepts are illustrated with practical references to sources, native and foreign scientists, and scientific centers that are authoritative in various professional discourses on the study of fairytale narrative. Conclusions have been made about the need for further comprehensive study of folk tales, production of generalizing works on Ukrainian fairylore, separate analytical monographs on history, theory and practice of this subject. The analyzed discourses around the folk tale have become a positive factor in the dynamics of Ukrainian fairytale in general.

This article discusses the implied ‘vulgarity’ and playfulness of children's literature within the broader concept of the carnivalesque as defined by Mikhail Bakhtin in Rabelais and His World (1965) and further contextualised by John Stephens in Language and Ideology in Children's Fiction (1992). Carnivalesque adaptations of fairy tales are examined by situating them within Cristina Bacchilega's contemporary construct of the ‘fairy-tale web’, focusing on the arenas of parody and intertextuality for the purpose of detecting crucial changes in children's culture in relation to the social construct and ideology of adulthood from the Golden Age of children's literature onward. The analysis is primarily concerned with Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes (1982) and J. K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard (2007/2008) as representative examples of the historically conditioned empowerment of the child consumer. Marked by ambivalent laughter, mockery and the degradation of ‘high culture’, the interrogative, subversive and ‘time out’ nature of the carnivalesque adaptations of fairy tales reveals the striking allure of contemporary children's culture, which not only accommodates children's needs and preferences, but also is evidently desirable to everybody.
