GER 230 - THE GERMAN FAIRY TALE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

German

Description:

This course reintroduces students to Grimm fairy tales in contexts quite different from their reputations as mere bedtime stories for children. The course will treat both well-known and more obscure fairy tales, focusing on their genesis, commonalities, differences, violence, gender bias, and the excisions and revisions undertaken by the Grimm brothers. Feminist and modern reworkings of the traditional tales will also be studied. Tales by other German authors will be examined. (In German)
