Brothers Grimm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1837, the Brothers Grimm joined five of their colleague professors at the University of Göttingen to protest against the abolition of the liberal constitution of the state of Hanover by King Ernest Augustus I of Hanover. |
 | | The Grimms helped foment a nationwide democratic public opinion in Germany and are cherished as the progenitors of the German democratic movement, whose revolution of 1848/1849 was crushed brutally by the Kingdom of Prussia, where there was established a constitutional monarchy. |
 | | A modern editor of the Brothers Grimm and interpreter of the fairy tales tradition is Jack Zipes. |
