English Fairy Tales (Annotated)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs. The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment. Joseph Jacobs (August 29, 1854 - January 30, 1916) was an Australian folklorist, literary critic, historian, and writer of English literature who became a notable collector and publisher of English folklore. His work went on to popularize some of the world's best-known versions of tales in English such as Jack and the Beanstalk, The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, Jack the Killer and Tom Thumb. He published his collections of English tales: English Fairy Tales in 1890 and More English Tales in 1894, but he was also inspired after and in between the two books to publish tales collected from continental Europe, as well as fairy tales, which made him in one of the most popular writers of Jewish, Celtic and Indian tales for the English language
