Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion by Jack Zipes
As Jack Zipes convincingly shows in this classic work, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. How and why did certain authors try to influence children or social images of children?Jack Zipes was formerly Professor of German at the University of Minnesota. An acclaimed translator and scholar of children’s literature and culture, his most recent books include Hans Christian Andersen: The Misunderstood Storyteller and Speaking Out: Storytelling and Creative Drama for Children, both published by Routledge.
