Jack Zipes develops a social history of the fairy tale and shows how educated writers purposefully appropriated the oral folk tale in the eighteenth century and made it into a discourse about mores, values, and manners.

Great information regarding understanding fairy tales,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fairy tales and the art of subversion: The classical genre for children and the process of civilization (Paperback)
The book was received in excellent condition. The content of the book also was excellent. The history of fairy tales is an important stage of our development as a complex governmental unit. Zipes is an academic of the highest order.
