Amazon Music Stream millions of songs. The medieval tales are for the most part moral tales, and those from the Buch der Beispiele are chiefly animal fables. Popular German Tales Twelve are animal tales, and two have no protagonist. As far as the fairytales tales of magic are concerned, readers would not have noticed any obvious difference in tone and length from what they were accustomed to from the Grimms.
In his German originals Bechstein does allow himself the occasional personally motivated aside, but these are just the things that the English translators were likely to remove or modify. The story concerns an old man who keeps his heart outside his body, turns six brothers and their prospective brides into stone and makes the seventh bride a virtual prisoner. The girl then embroiders flowers on it to please him. The youngest brother, on his search, encounters an ox which he invites to share his food. But elsewhere there are deliberate alterations. This is a medieval story about how a knight tames an obstreperous mother and daughter who both want to mock and master their respective husbands.
It is one of the most extreme examples of a tale calculated to teach women that their role in life is to be subservient to their husbands and fathers. The young knight who solves the situation first kills his falcon, then his hound and his horse for supposed disobedience in order to demonstrate what his new wife can expect from him.
The English translation omits all such allusions. In order to stop the boy from marrying his daughter, the king agrees to this indignity, but the boy whistles with his magic pipe and the hare comes running back to him. Indeed, many of them are only slightly different versions of tale-types already well known from the Grimms. The Bechstein volume also incorporated nine more tales by the Grimms, taken from the Addey and Co.
All three were new versions of Bechstein, somewhat freer translations than those in The Old Story-Teller. They were credited to Bechstein and translated afresh. Again, these are new translations of tales that had already appeared in The Old Story-Teller. With these anthologized stories the British transmission of Bechstein seems to have petered out until two new translations were issued in the s.
Only a few of these made a mark in Britain, but prominent among them is the great German patriot, Ernst Moritz Arndt , who devoted the whole of his adult life to working for a Germany united culturally and politically on the basis of language. After the defeat of Napoleon he became Professor of Modern History at the newly founded University of Bonn, but his liberal views led to his suspension from office for several years until he was reinstated in Towards the end of his long life Arndt gave up politics and devoted himself to scholarship.
He did not live to experience the united Germany he had worked so hard for.
A second edition of the work appeared in The publisher was G. The Fairy Book went through eleven editions up to , so that story gained wide circulation. This prints new translations of the tales that were already known, but extends the range of material to a total of seventeen tales. This includes the stories edited by Madame de Chatelain and about as much again. Of the remaining eleven tales half a dozen are fairytales in the narrower sense and do not overlap with those of the Grimms.
Most deal with figures that have been bewitched and can only be released from their enchantment by the successful completion of a series of difficult tasks. Very frequently they involve encounters with supernatural beings and attempt to explain the acquisition or loss of wealth. They will only revert to human shape if a woman the same age as the mother comes along with seven sons for them to marry.
Some of the legends demonstrate that these dangers are not always overcome.
