Fairy tale debates
Dear list members,
My name is Marijana Hamersak and as part of my MA thesis I am researching fairy tale debates in Croatian children's literature criticism. Could you please recommend me articles and/or books (in English, Italian or German language) discussing and reviewing fairy tale debates in 19th and 20th century? For now I am familiar only with Bernd Dolle-Weirnkauff's article "Nineteenth-century Fairy Tale Debates and the Development of Children's Literature Criticism in Germany" published in CLAQ (1999-2000). I would appreciate any suggestion. Thank you indeed...
With best regards,

Re: Fairy tale debates
There are many studies that continue the ongoing debate(s) about fairy tales, from a variety of perspectives (pedagogical value, therapuetic value, moral value, etc.). Some German studies that seem possibly relevant to your work (at least indirectly) might be the following:
Bastian, Ulrike. Die "Kinder- und Hausmärchen" der Brüder Grimm in der literaturpädagogischen Diskussion des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Frankfurt a.M.: Haag + Herchen, 1981.
Brandt, Sabine. "Rotkäppchen und der Klassenkampf." Der Monat 12 (1960): 65-74. (Account of the fairy tale debate in East Germany during the early 1950s.)
Kolta, Ferenc. "Märchen oder nicht? Ergebnisse einer Diskussion." Beiträge zur Kinder- und Jugendliteratur 4-5 (1963): 77-82. (Reconsiders the debate over fairy tales as it has taken shape in socialist countries, with special reference to the view of the Hungarian writer Peter Teknös.)

Thanks
Thank you very much on your quick and really helpful post Don. I would be grateful if you could send me more references. Of course only if you already have them sorted and written in your computer database.
Best,
Marijana
