摘要
" Explores the historical rise of the literary fairy tale as genre in the late seventeenth century. In his examinations of key classical fairy tales, Zipes traces their unique metamorphoses in history with stunning discoveries that reveal their ideological relationship to domination and oppression. Tales such as Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and Rumplestiltskin have become part of our everyday culture and shapers of our identities. In this lively work, Jack Zipes explores the historical rise of the literary fairy tale as genre in the late seventeenth century and examines the ideological relationship of classic fairy tales to domination and oppression in Western society. The fairy tale received its most "mythic" articulation in America. Consequently, Zipes sees Walt Disney's Snow White as an expression of American male individualism, film and literary interpretations of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz as critiques of American myths, and Robert Bly's Iron John as a misunderstanding of folklore and traditional fairy tales. This book will change forever the way we look at the fairy tales of our youth.

The name Jack Zipes is synonymous with highly regarded and widely read anthologies and critiques of fairy tales. Zipes's theoretical approach, which tends toward the Marxist and feminist, has proven to be provocative, whether he is writing on Little Red Riding Hood as a tale of rape (The Trials and Tribulations of Little Red Riding Hood, CH, Jan'84) or on the influence of their father's death on the Grimm Brothers (The Brothers Grimm, CH, Jun'89). The present volume, based on a series of lectures Zipes delivered at the Univ. of Kentucky in 1993, endeavors to look at the "evolution of the fairy tale as a literary genre ... marked by a process of dialectical appropriation involving duplication and revision that set the cultural conditions for its mythicization, institutionalization, and expansion as a mass-mediated form through radio, film, and television." Following a chapter that traces the origin of the fairy tale, Zipes turns to contemporary iterations and devotes chapters to Walt Disney, Robert Bly's Iron John (CH, Mar'91), Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz (1899), and brief mentions of a wide range of writers from Jane Yolen to Stephen Sondheim and Robert Coover to Terri Windling. Richly illustrated and persuasively argued, this volume is an important addition to all collections. E. R. Baer Gustavus Adolphus College
