Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the role of fairies in literature and the evolution of fairy characters in different time periods and under different cultural influences. The author observes how these changes reflect human attitudes and beliefs about the natural world, from regarding fairies as mischievous beings and agents of chaos, to conceptualizing them as harbingers of good fortune and benevolent magic. Drawing from literary analysis, folklore, and historical context, the author contends that the history of fairies is an allegory for the history of human consciousness. This book will fascinate anyone interested in fairy tales, folklore, and the evolution of human thought.
