Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Folklore of Fairy-Tale' is an insightful and comprehensive examination of the primitive origins and cultural significance of traditional narratives. Written by Macleod Yearsley, this scholarly work delves into the deep-seated roots of fairy tales, tracing their evolution from ancient myths, tribal customs, and superstitious beliefs. By applying an anthropological lens to well-known stories, the author explores how recurring motifs-such as magical transformations, animal helpers, and heroic quests-reflect the social structures and psychological landscapes of early human societies.The book categorizes various types of folklore, offering comparative analyses that highlight the universality of certain themes across diverse global cultures. Yearsley investigates the remnants of pagan rituals and the survival of prehistoric ideas within the nursery tales of the modern era. This study serves as an essential resource for those interested in the intersections of literature, mythology, and social science. 'The Folklore of Fairy-Tale' remains a significant contribution to the field of folkloristics, providing readers with a profound understanding of why these timeless stories continue to resonate with the human imagination.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
