	Jack Zipes, Beautiful Angiola
		Jack Zipes, in his introduction to this collection, remarks on Gonzenbach's success in collecting these stories, told mainly by women, and the freshness and immediacy of her rendering.
		While Zipes points out the differences in Gonzenbach's approach and those of modern folklorists in the field, one must keep in mind that folklore as a discipline was in its infancy in the nineteenth century, without the resources or methodology of the contemporary practitioner.
		Zipes notes that it would be a mistake to characterize the collection as subversive or "feminist," but it does illustrate beautifully the subversion of gender roles that begins to make itself known in nineteenth-century European thought.

	Jack Zipes, Hans Christian Andersen -- The Misunderstood Storyteller
		Jack Zipes argues that he is also the most misunderstood, an argument that at times is cogent, but just as often seems strained and, in a large sense, seems to me to miss the point.
		In regard to Zipes' main point in this chapter, that Andersen never felt that he was recognized enough, or for the right things (he was a playwright, poet and novelist as well as a writer of fairy tales), offhand I can't think of any artist anywhere who feels differently.
		The fact that he catered to his audience, which Zipes takes as evidence of deep psychological conflict, is to me no more than any artist has done, unless he was rebellious enough, and good enough, to insist that his audience cater to him, and even then, no one starts off that way.

	Teacher retells tales of tolerance - Minnesota Daily
		He reminded Zipes of their discussions in their undergraduate years together, when they stayed up into the late hours trying to make sense of the racism and hatred they experienced in their youth.
		Zipes has a reputation among students and faculty for his genuine commitment to teaching and his extensive contributions to the field.
		For Zipes and those who follow his work, the children's stories are much more than entertainment, they are keys to understanding another time and place, and a way of shedding new light on our own.

		Zipes is concerned with the "commodification" of fairy tales, a la Disney, where the films are designed more to sell a line of toys and other products than to present a story to an audience.
		Zipes traces the use of fairy tales in the acculturation process through various time periods, emphasizing the importance of being cognizant of the process itself.
		Zipes' history of storytelling and its changes between cultures provides an unusual perspective of how the fairy tale has affected and changed cultures and societies from the 16th century to modern times.

		The fairy tale--a story in which the characters, by means of a series of transformations, discover their true selves--is the foundation stone of all modern fiction.
		Jack Zipes--editor of two fine anthologies, Victorian Fairy Tales and Spells of Enchantment--provides an excellent introduction, showing a much more subtle and inclusive understanding of the fairy tale than his early polemical books such as Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion.
		This is a wide brief, but Zipes and his collaborators tackle it with zest and authority.

		Translator Zipes analyzes this attraction and places it within the context of Hesse's emotionally turbulent life in his illuminating introduction.
		Zipes also describes the progression of Hesse's aesthetics from his early self-absorption and belief in the artist as hero to a more worldly perspective embracing social and political issues and emphasizing the artist's role as witness and critic.
		As Zipes astutely points out, the ogres and obstacles in Hesse's tales are what he considered to be the banes of modern existence: "science, materialism, war, alienation, and philistinism." A boon for Hesse fans, this is an important addition to Hesse's ever-popular English-language oeuvre.

		Zipes has a few good points to make, but they suffocate under needless jargon and tedious, evidence-free assertions about "cultural commodities" and the like.
		Zipes misses the point on the importance of the scar - the scar is the central metaphor of the series and the importance of scars and wounding says something about our culture's adoption of this particular hero.
		But Zipes is guilty of the same mamby pamby moralism that he criticizes in others, if you've read his Oxford Book of Fairy Tales you'll find that it's an unimaginative collection of innocuous speech codes and flaky feminist paranoia which is tedious and boring.

	American Academy in Rome - Jack Zipes
		Most scholars of folklore and fairy tales are unaware of the fact that two Italian writers Gian Franco Straparola and Giambattista Basile laid the foundation for the development of the literary fairy tale in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.
		However, Straparola's The Pleasant Nights (1550-53) and Basile's The Story of Stories or The Pentameron (1634-36) were innovative works that had a great impact not only on the French writers of the 1690s but also later on the Brothers Grimm.

		Zipes offers a useful overview of the genre's historical evolution, but his own ideological stance adds an element of the provocative to his many insightful observations.
		There is something in here for every taste, and Zipes is picky enough about quality that every story is well-written even if it's not in your favorite style.
		My only gripe is that it ends on a down note, with a depressing story by de Larrabeiti.
