ENG 145 - THE FAIRY TALE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

Why do we still care about fairy tales? What makes them so popular and so relatable to our modern lives? To answer these questions, this course examines classic fairy tales, from their earliest oral and written roots to current representations and transformations. It explores the origins of fairy tales and traces their continual evolution in response to their cultural settings. We will study a number of individual tales in depth, read fairy tales and poetry by contemporary authors, and view films that both depict traditional tales and re-interpret them.
