Produktbeschreibung
The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. But until Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children's lives - their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. For this new edition, the author has revised the work throughout and added a new introduction bringing this classic title up to date.
Autorenporträt
Jack Zipes is a retired professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota where he taught courses on folklore and fairy tales. A prolific author and political activist since the 1960s, his novellas reflect his belief that the worlds conditions have deteriorated for many, particularly for the young, and that fascism has crept into even the smallest corners of the globe. These tales are hopeful stories of resistance and defiance.
