Autorenporträt
Andrew Lang was a Scottish author, poet, and folklorist, best known for his collections of fairy tales, his work in anthropology, and his contributions to literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A scholar with a wide range of interests, Lang became famous for his ability to collect and preserve folk tales from various cultures, which he did in a series of books known as the Coloured Fairy Books. The first of these, The Blue Fairy Book, was published in 1889, followed by a total of twelve volumes, including The Red Fairy Book (1890), The Green Fairy Book (1892), and others. These collections introduced many beloved fairy tales to English-speaking audiences and remain classics of children's literature. His novel The Disentanglers showcases his skill in social commentary and relationship dynamics, often with wit and critique of societal expectations. Lang was a notable figure in the literary and cultural circles of his time, contributing to the popularization of folklore studies and bridging the gap between academic and popular audiences. His work on fairy tales and his anthropological research have made him a lasting figure in the study of mythology, literature, and folklore.
