The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm and the Political Socialization of Children in the Age of Nationalism -The Escape from Innocence: Contradictions of Modern.
This book explores the interplay of childhood and the fairy tale as they both changed character in accordance with the historical transformations of the mid-nineteenth century. While the fairy tale was instrumental in the social construction of childhood, the latter for its part played an equally crucial role in altering the narrative structure of the fairy tale.
