The World of the Brothers Grimm | In-Person Presentation
If at its core Kultur can be defined as what a people choose to pass on to their children, the folklore of the Brothers Grimm might be said to represent a rich tapestry of the German people's distinct, cultural memory.
This in-person presentation will explore the times in which this folklore was first collected and published. As the Grimms were part and parcel of the Romanticist movement of the early 19th century, their interpretations of the tales they collected might be seen not only as a reaction to Enlightenment rationalism but also in support of an early nationalist movement seeking to promote a "German" consciousness based on the authentic voices of a common folk bound together by language and and tradition.
Join us then as we take a closer look at the historical and cultural context behind the enchanted folklore of the Brothers Grimm.
