The chapters in this volume cover a wide range of topics, including the linguistic innovations characteristic of Andersen’s literary style, illustrations of Andersen’s tales, film adaptations of Andersen’s biography, and in-depth explorations of specific themes that play a central role in Andersen’s work, such as anthropomorphism, modernity, travel, religion, art and the artist, and social criticism.
More Than Just Fairy Tales provides fresh insights into a seminal figure in European and international children’s literature. It demonstrates that Andersen’s stories have stood the test of time by addressing issues and ideas that are constants of the human condition.
This book is well suited for use in undergraduate courses in children’s literature, Scandinavian and Germanic literature, and folklore. Each chapter’s close, critical reading of thematically linked clusters of Andersen’s tales facilitates a deeper understanding of both Andersen’s most popular and lesser-known works, while teaching students how to apply critical reading strategies more generally. In more advanced courses, this approach lays the groundwork for independent research and analysis.
