Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales, Children, and the Culture Industry

by Professor Jack Zipes, Zipes Jack

About this title: Addressing his ongoing concerns, the author of this text examines the socialization of children, the impact of the fairy tale on children and adults, and the future development of the fairy tale as a film. As a result of analyzing the historical trajectory of storytelling and the literary fairy tale, the essays in this volume move from the 16th century to the present, between different cultures and societies, and from specific analyses to general syntheses.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

Apr 18, 2009
By Destiny, Brooklyn, NY

"From what I gather, Zipes is a fairly prolific scholar writer in the field of fairy tale studies. The first half of the book I found deeply engaging as he did a bit of comparative study of the evolution of fairy tales prior to the 20th century. He concentrated specifically on the cultural values of specific historic periods that are reflected within each version, and how as these values change over time so do the stories. And within this framework, he also investigated how fairy tales have been used to socialize children. However, the latter part of the work began to read a bit too much like a manifesto against the consumerist monoculture--which wasn't what I was looking for. Analysis of how fairy tales rationalize the abandonment and abuse of children? Fun! Sweeping value judgements and generalizations about contemporary society and consumerist culture? Not quite what I was expecting. (Granted, the subtitle does talk about "the culture industry" but I the last chapter was pretty exclusively discussing the culture industry, with very little reference to fairy tales)."
