The Brothers Grimm by Jack Zipes
From Enchanted Forests to the Modern World
This book offers a critical, historically grounded study of the famous collection of German folktales, tracing how oral stories were gathered, edited and transformed into printed tales that helped shape cultural values and national identity; it examines the brothers’ editorial choices, the political and social forces that influenced versions of the tales, and the ways the stories have been appropriated, commercialized and reinterpreted across time, with attention to questions of ideology, gender, class and the continuing power of fairy tales in modern life.
