The Grimm Brothers: Folktales and Nation-building Grimms’ Fairy Tales is a familiar

name. The brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born in the German city of Hanau in

1785 and 1786 respectively. While both of them studied law, they soon developed an

interest in collecting old folktales. They spent six years travelling from village to village,

talking to people and writing down fairy tales, which were handed down through the

generations. These were popular both among children and adults. In 1812, they published

their first collection of tales. Subsequently, both the brothers became active in liberal

politics, especially the movement for freedom of the press. In the meantime they also

published a 33-volume dictionary of the German language. The Grimm brothers also saw

French domination as a threat to German culture, and believed that the folktales they had

collected were expressions of a pure and authentic German spirit. They considered their

projects of collecting folktales and developing the German language as part of the wider

effort to oppose French domination and create a German national identity.
