Class Description:
Once upon a time there was a? If you like trolls, witches, giants, princes, and princesses; this is the course for you! Learn about folktales, fairytales, and legends; get to know how even the youngest, weakest and poorest can succeed and win the prince or the princess, half the kingdom, and live happily ever after. We will read Norwegian folk- and fairytales and Scandinavian Folk Belief and Legend. We will also look at the modern Scandinavian Urban Legends and explore themes expressing the view of society in these legends. This course is designed for both lower- and upper-division undergraduates. All the readings will be in English, and we will examine different scholarly approaches to interpreting the tales and the legends. The course will consist of a mixture of lecture and small group discussions; there will be two short papers, but no exams. Little Lucy Goosey-Girl, All Black and All White, and Mophead would like you to get to know them. See you in class!
