FAIRY TALES
Syllabus Description (from Canvas):

Fairy tales are part of a storytelling web that stretches from 16th-century Italy to 19th-century Germany to contemporary North America. This course will trace that web, especially its environmental and ecological relations, and spin it in new directions through an adaptation project.
