内容説明
Where do fairy tales come from? Why do we find them so enchanting? What is it about them that is so magical? From its origins in the oral tradition to the modern methods of storytelling through film and television, the fairy tale has always had a powerful grip over the cultural imagination of the Western world. Under the editorial guidance of Jack Zipes, 67 expert contributors have come together to combine their insight and expertise on all aspects of the fairy tale tradition. The result is a unique synthesis of knowledge making this the most authoritative and wide-ranging reference work on the study of the Western fairy tale available. To what extent was Enid Blyton inspired by fairy tales, reading 'every single old myth and legend I could get hold of'? What influence has Walt Disney had on the modern perception of certain classic fairy tales? Where did the Moomins come from? Under what title was Alice in Wonderland first published? In what different ways have fairy tales been portrayed on film? To what extent was the story of Hansel and Gretel auto-biographical? Why has Irish folklore had such a big influence on American film and stage?
What inspired Edward Elgar to put fairy tales to music? What is the difference between science fiction and fairy tales? What are the philosophical overtones in 'The Little Mermaid'? Who supposedly inspired the character Peter Pan and why is the story so popular? What are the similarities between The Arabian Nights and Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children? Who are the most famous Norwegian fairy tale characters? Which two famous fairy tale characters inspired Stephen Spielberg's E.T.? What traces of the politics and society of the American Midwest during the late 1890s can be seen in The Wizard of Oz?
