Clever Maids

Paradiz, Valerie

The intriguing story behind the creation of the collection of fairy tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm examines the contributions of women--rather than German folkloric scholars--to the preservation of these traditional tales, in a study set against the backdrop of the turbulent Napoleonic Wars and the intellectual spirit of early nineteenth-century Europe. 30,000 first printing.
