Beskrivning
This book sheds new light on the central role of the Grimms’ all too often neglected Deutsche Sagen (German Legends), published in 1816-1818 as a follow up to their famous collection of fairy tales. As the chapters in this book demonstrate, Deutsche Sagen, with its firmly nationalistic title, set in motion a cultural tsunami of folklore collection throughout Northern Europe from Ireland and Estonia, which focused initially on the collection of folk legends rather than fairy tales. Grimm Ripples focuses on the initial northward wave of collection between 1816 and 1870, and the letters, introductions and reviews associated with these collections which effectively demonstrate how those involved understood what was being collected. This approach offers important new insights into the key role played by Folkloristics in the Romantic Nationalistic movement of the early nineteenth century. Contributors are: Terry Gunnell, Joep Leerssen, Holger Ehrhardt, Timothy R. Tangherlini, Herleik Baklid, Ane Ohrvik, Line Esborg, Fredrik Skott, John Lindow, Éilís Ní Dhiubhne Almqvist, John Shaw, Jonathan Roper, Kim Simonsen, Rósa Þorsteinsdóttir, Liina Lukas, Pertti Anttonen, Ulrika Wolf-Knuts, and Susanne Österlund-Pötzsch.

Recensioner i media

“Seventeen articles in Grimm Ripples offer a wide, many-sided, and colorful picture of the emergence of European legend and fairy-tale studies, its success stories, challenges and difficulties, and the formation of early folkloristics.” “Grimm Ripples is an informative study of the beginnings of European folkloristics in the nineteenth century. It focuses on outstanding individual scholars and their works but likewise shows the importance of networking, social relationships and friendships.”---- Ülo Valk, in: Journal of Folklore Research Reviews September 25, 2023 "Grimm Ripples is a large collection of articles which importantly re-opens discussions that had been perhaps prematurely closed. "---- JoAnn Conrad, in: Folklore Published online: 21 Jun 2023 "A refreshing and timely read, Grimm Ripples convincingly explores the spread of folklore research and collection efforts in Northern Europe, influenced by the Grimms’ much neglected book Deutsche Sagen. Gunnell’s anthology is a meaningful and critical contribution to the ongoing analysis of the Grimms’ work, not only regarding their development of German folklore but of their advancement of national culture, pride, and identity throughout Europe". Rebecca Davis in Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies, 38(1), 2024.
