Abstract:

This paper focuses on the contrasting characteristics of fairy tales authored by the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen, examining the variations in themes, characters, and narrative structures. The Grimm Brothers primarily dedicated themselves to collecting and preserving traditional tales, placing great importance on authenticity and cultural heritage. In contrast, Andersen ventured into creating original stories that delved into introspection and offered social commentary. The storytelling approaches and motivations of the Grimm Brothers and Andersen diverged, yet both left indelibl

The article examines the existence of the plot type 562 “The Spirit in blue light” in the Russian fairy tale tradition. It is generally believed that this text came into the Russian folklore tradition under the influence of the fairy tale by H. C. Andersen's “Flint,” and the first publication of this plot type is a fairy tale from a Brothers Grimm collection. In Russia, the ATU index describes six variants of this plot type, and one of them was published before the appearance of both the Andersen fairy tale and the Brothers Grimm version, which allows to assume that it goes back to some oral v

Fairytales and folktales were historically associated with values and morals, and the moral system during the olden times was completely patriarchal and abelistic.

Abstract Across the globe, the genre of the fairy tale is inextricably linked with Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875). To this day, the Danish writer and his sombre, often dystopian tales are famed for their pronounced criticism of socio-cultural norms and are read and loved by all ages. In his work, Andersen made ample use of the fantastic, which ranges from the realm of the supernatural (esp. anthropomorphic plants, animals, and things) to the realm of the (realistically) imaginary such as the faculty of imagination or (religious) beliefs. In doing so, socio-cultural phenomena such as conce

This progression paved the way for the fairy tales that would secure his global fame. Andersen’s career thus

Abstract:

Summary The paper explores the nature of fairy tales’ protagonists in a traditional literary fairy tale and in the modern one from the perspective of pupils who are from seven to ten years old. The fairy tales are often being used in the early childhood education field as the starting point for school plays, as play themes or as a ‘background’for language, science or mathematics activity. Children’s symbolic perception of the fairy tales’ characters and their relationships reveals that there is a way of pupils’ reception of texts in which those texts are treated (and analysed) as a work of lit

This article is not a complete assessment of Kaj Mogensen’svoluminous doctoral dissertation. Instead, it focuses on two elementsin Hans Christian Andersen’s understanding of life and conception ofChristianity: 1) God as loving providence, and 2) the importance of thefreedom, endeavours and formation of the human being. It is arguedthat there is a range of difficulties in the first element – both in HansChristian Andersen’s thinking and in Kaj Mogensen’s own correspondingapproach – that are not sufficiently discussed in the dissertation. Itis also argued that Mogensen to some degree underestima

Abstract:

This work identifies and records the errors and inaccuracies in representing celestial bodies in fairy tales. It also presents the alternative ideas that may arise in children due to these inaccuracies and errors. The qualitative content analysis examined the texts of 55 classic fairy tales by authors Andersen, Perrault, and the Brothers Grimm. The results showed that the Moon, the Sun, and the Stars are not represented based on the scientific standard. Finally, the common characteristics of errors and inaccuracies and ways of using these fairy tales in teaching sciences are presented.

The present paper offers a study of two contemporary English-language reworkings of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Little Mermaid: one by the M. Sickafoose (1995) and one by A. Woon (2016), from the perspective of disability theory. In each of them, the original tale has been reframed into a story featuring a young girl striving to approach her inability to walk while drawing inspiration from the original tale. Due to their use of intertextuality, the texts to be analyzed are discussed as examples of the so-called postmodern fairy tale, aimed at interrogating the relevance of classic

Abstract:

Hans Christian Andersen’s tale, “The Little Mermaid,” has been adored by both children and parents for decades. The tale shows an astonishingly different quality to Andersen’s early genre of fairy tales, which allows the reader to sense his keenness on the meaning of human sexuality. The author used the short narrative form, becoming more conservative, cautious, and concise in his ideological compromise between religiosity and human nature. “The Little Mermaid” is a tale that draws the reader in about “universal preoccupations” of femininity, self-concept, and self-actualization.

Abstract This paper studies the Bengali translations of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales during the mid-nineteenth century. It starts by looking at how the Vernacular Literature Society, Calcutta (established 1851) introduced Andersen’s tales to counter the lowbrow Battala literature considered inappropriate by the Bengali educated class, the bhadralok. The colonial archive shows that it was Clara de Chatelain’s English translation that Madhusudan Mukhopadhyay, the secretary of the Society, used as the source text.

Antonio Rubino’s novel Viperetta (1919) is the mature work of an author already known in the context of children’s literature mainly for his activity as an illustrator for some covers of “Il giornalino della Domenica” and drawings for Andersen’s fairy tales and as a contributor to the “Corriere dei Piccoli”. In this context, Viperettaimmediately presents itself as an editorial object of particular cultural-historical interest, both because of the specific relationship that Rubino establishes between the textual part and the body of the images, and because it is presented as a coming-ofage nove
