21L.430 · Comparative Media Studies/Writing, Literature · Undergraduate · Fall 2015
Dr. William Donaldson
This course takes a deep look at a big subject. We ask where Fairy Tales come from and we examine the structure of Fairy Tales. We’ll also look at how Fairy Tales are conditioned by oral transmission and inherited story-telling techniques.
