The unit explores the history and diversity of fairy tale in Italy, from the proposition that literary fairy tale originated in Venice and Naples to more contemporary recordings of tales. Students will learn theoretical approaches through which to examine the nature of Italian fairy tales and take into consideration issues of cultural production, consumption and political influence.
