Ludwig Bechstein
Ludwig Bechstein ist überwiegend durch seine Märchensammlungen bekannt, er selbst hat jedoch den Schwerpunkt seiner Sammeltätigkeit bei der Dokumentation von Volkssagen gesehen. Daneben hat er ein umfangreiches wissenschaftliches und dichterisches Werk hinterlassen. Derzeit sind vor allem die Sagenbestände von Interesse, weil sie rezeptionsgeschichtlich zu Unrecht im Schatten der Deutschen Sagen der Brüder Grimm (1816/1818) stehen. Bechsteins zwischen 1835 und 1857/1858 erschienene große Sammlungen wenden sein um eine Generation jüngeres Konzept auf insgesamt 2158 Texte an. 374 weitere Texte sind außerhalb der großen Anthologien verstreut an z.T. schwer zugänglichen Stellen erschienen. Diese wenig bekannten Sagen werden hier vorgestellt und unter textlinguistischen Gesichtspunkten kommentiert.
The Teller's Tale
This book offers new, often unexpected, but always intriguing portraits of the writers of classic fairy tales. For years these authors, who wrote from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, have been either little known or known through skewed, frequently sentimentalized biographical information. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were cast as exemplars of national virtues; Hans Christian Andersen's life became—with his participation—a fairy tale in itself. Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, the prim governess who wrote moral tales for girls, had a more colorful past than her readers would have imagined, and few people knew that nineteen-year-old Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy conspired to kill her much-older husband. Important figures about whom little is known, such as Giovan Francesco Straparola and Giambattista Basile, are rendered more completely than ever before. Uncovering what was obscured for years and with newly discovered evidence, contributors to this fascinating and much-needed volume provide a historical context for Europe's fairy tales.

The Hard Facts of the Grimms' Fairy Tales
Murder, mutilation, cannibalism, infanticide, and incest: the darker side of classic fairy tales is the subject of this groundbreaking and intriguing study of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s Nursery and Household Tales. This expanded edition includes a new preface and an appendix featuring translations of six tales with commentary by Maria Tatar. Throughout the book, Tatar draws on the disciplinary tools of psychoanalysis and folklore while also providing historical context to explore the harsher aspects of these stories, presenting new interpretations of tales that engage in a kind of cultural repetition compulsion. No other book so thoroughly challenges us to rethink the happily-ever-after of these classic stories.
The Life of Ludwig van Beethoven (Complete)
If for no other reasons than because of the long time and monumental patience expended upon its preparation, the vicissitudes through which it has passed and the varied and arduous labors bestowed upon it by the author and his editors, the history of Alexander Wheelock Thayer’s Life of Beethoven deserves to be set forth as an introduction to this work. His work it is, and his monument, though others have labored long and painstakingly upon it. There has been no considerable time since the middle of the last century when it has not occupied the minds of the author and those who have been associated with him in its creation. Between the conception of its plan and its execution there lies a p...
