Abstract

When did fairy tales begin? What qualifies as a fairy tale? Is a true fairy tale oral or literary? Or is a fairy tale determined not by style but by content? To answer these and other questions, Jan M. Ziolkowski not only provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical debates about fairy tale origins but includes an extensive discussion of the relationship of the fairy tale to both the written and oral sources. Ziolkowski offers interpretations of a sampling of the tales in order to sketch the complex connections that existed in the Middle Ages between oral folktales and their written equivalents, the variety of uses to which the writers applied the stories, and the diverse relationships between the medieval texts and the expressions of the same tales in the "classic" fairy tale collections of the nineteenth century. In so doing, Ziolkowski explores stories that survive in both versions associated with, on the one hand, such standards of the nineteenth-century fairy tale as the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and Carlo Collodi and, on the other, medieval Latin, demonstrating that the literary fairy tale owes a great debt to the Latin literature of the medieval period. Jan M. Ziolkowski is the Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin at Harvard University.

Abstract

Parue en 1928, la "Morphologie du conte" est à l'analyse structurale du récit ce que le cours de Saussure est à la linguistique: la source d'inspiration. Cent contes de fées russes permettront à Propp d'identifier une matrice dont tous les autres sont issus. Reconnaissant en lui son précurseur, Lévi-Strauss évoque "son immense mérite" et "ses intuitions prophétiques". La présente traduction est la première à suivre l'édition russe définitive de 1969; s'y ajoute une étude complémentaire de Propp: " les transformations des contes merveilleux" ; et un essai de E.M. Mélétinski qui recense les échos suscités par ce livre dans le monde entier. Quatrième de couverture.
