	Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
		Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were scholars under patronage of various German princes (Jacob was librarian at Kassel and Göttingen), famous for their contributions to Indo-European and Germanic philology/linguistics.
		Ellis claims that Grimms domesticated stories by reducing or eliminating disturbing situations (e.g., the hostility of parents in "Hansel and Gretel") and even dropping "objectionable" stories such as those where crime succeeds, or where the sexual content or violence quotient is too high.
		Unlike the fairy tales of Basile and Perrault, the Grimms' tales much more frequently feature genuine peasant heroes or heroines, and often show the royalty as duplicitous in relation to the lower classes, making them much more class-conscious than their predecessors.

		Jacob was a pioneer in the study of German philology, and although Wilhelm's work was hampered by poor health the brothers collaborated in the creation of a German dictionary, not completed until a century after their deaths.
		This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories "with the amusement of some young friends principally in view." They have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.

		An Examination of the Structure, Pattern and Hero in Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s, Hansel and Gretel.
		My approach is the examination of the structure, pattern and hero in Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s, classic fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel.
		The Grimm's fairy tale does not comply with the "Once upon a time..." initial structure of most fairy tales, but the tale does challenge the reader to guess the moral or the meaning for the telling of this story.

		She tosses in biographies of authors such as the Brothers Grimm, and of collectors like Australian Joseph Jacobs.
		Everything he said in that review applies here, but there's a caveat for this collection that does not apply to the more generalized collection of fairy tales -- this is not as good a collection as the Zipes collection in terms of completeness or in avoiding getting caught up in over-interpreting the tales.
		But it is a better collection from both a design viewpoint and for giving you a better appreciation of where the tales came from, how the Grimm Brothers edited them according to the sensibilities of their era, and what has happened to the tales in the two centuries since their time.
