The fairy tale is a distinct genre of literature, with its own set of characteristics and audience expectations. In this course, students will study numerous classic examples of the fairy tale, such as those collected by the Brothers Grimm and salon tales written by Charles Perrault for members of the French court, as well as modern revisionist adaptations. The origins of fairy tales from saga and certain Renaissance collections such as the Pentamerone by Giambattista Basile and The Arabian Nights will also be explored. Students can expect to study saga, classic Marchen, and global examples of diffusionism. Some attention is paid to art from the tradition of fairy tale illustration as well as filmic adaptations.
