HI 270 - Fairy Tales & History (3)

Using gender as a central category of historical analysis, this course is an exploration of fairy tales as a means to promote and/or subvert power relations in European society from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries. Students will read and interpret primary sources (i.e., the fairy tales of both male and female collectors/writers) and understand and critically appraise secondary works (scholars’ interpretations of the fairy tales from a variety of historical and other disciplinary perspectives), which are essential in understanding history as a discipline. Meets the lower-division requirement for World history in the history major. Prerequisite: EN 111  or appropriate assessment score. 2020 CORE: Liberal Arts, History.
