Description:

Fairy tales are often thought of as amusing reading for children, but to folklorists, such stories are serious business. In this seminar, students explore the importance of studying fairy tales in such disciplines as anthropology, religion, literature, and psychology. The development of fairy tales is traced from the European oral tradition to their modern expression in Disney stories, horror films, and supermarket tabloids. Niles
