What do they tell us about our fears and hopes? In a work that spans 2,500 years these ambitious questions are addressed by over 50 experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a period in history. With the help of a broad range of case material they illustrate broad trends and nuances of the fairy tale in Western culture from antiquity to the present. Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six. The six volumes cover: 1 - Antiquity (500 BCE to 800 CE); 2 - Medieval Age (800 to 1450); 3 - The Age of the Marvelous (1450 to 1650); 4 - The Long Eighteenth Century (1650 to 1800); 5 - The Long Nineteenth Century (1800 to 1920); 6 - The Modern Age (1920 to the present). Themes (and chapter titles) are: Forms of the Marvelous; Adaptation; Gender and Sexuality; Humans and Non-Humans; Monsters and the Monstrous; Spaces; Socialization; and Power. The page extent for the pack is approximately 2,000 pp. Each volume opens with Notes on Contributors and an Introduction and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an Index SN - 1350095737 kovakantinen kokonaisuus SN - 978-1-3500-9573-1 kovakantinen kokonaisuus SN - 978-1-3500-9379-9 osa 1 SN - 1350093793 osa 1 SN - 978-1-3500-9448-2 osa 2 SN - 135009448X osa 2 SN - 978-1-3500-9465-9 osa 3 SN - 135009465X osa 3 SN - 978-1-3500-9522-9 osa 4 SN - 1350095222 osa 4 SN - 978-1-3500-9536-6 osa 5 SN - 1350095362 osa 5 SN - 978-1-3500-9571-7 osa 6 SN - 1350095710 osa 6 KW - Geschichte KW - sadut KW - historia KW - Fairy tales : History and criticism KW - Märchen KW - Kultur ER -
