A review by sarahreadsaverylot
The Classic Fairy Tales by Maria Tatar
4.0
4.5!
A fantastic collection, both as entertainment and as an introduction to the world of academic folklore studies.
Criticism from; Tatar, Warner, Zipes, Darnton, Propp and Aarne/Thompson; on contributions from; the Grimms, Perrault, Straparola, Basile, Anderson, Wilde, Dahl, Calvino, Carter, and Atwood. The gang is all here! A veritable 'who's who' of folklore and its study.
The criticism offers a broad range and takes into account modern and postmodern ideas of perspective, historical context, and cultural awareness as well as issues of appropriation and ownership. A valuable addition to any bookshelf.
