9781936849567: The Picture Language of Folktales

Synopsis

Fairy tales speak in a visual language-but what do these pictures speak of? In The Picture Language of Folktales, Friedel Lenz looks at fairy tales and their original images as part of the development of human consciousness. The characters of these stories are human beings living within two worlds-one which is physically visible and experienced through bodily senses and another that is not visible but nonetheless sensed. Friedel Lenz's consideration of these stories, twenty-five tales originally collected and retold by the Brothers Grimm from 1812 to 1857, offers the possibility of limbering up our thinking and feeling to allow the pictures of these stories to speak.
