Autorenporträt
Joseph Jacobs (1854-1916) was an Australian-born folklorist, critic, and writer, best known for his work as a collector and publisher of English folklore. His scholarly endeavors extended beyond merely gathering tales; Jacobs was intent on tracing their origins, evolution, and cross-cultural variations. He made a significant contribution to the field with publications such as 'Europa's Fairy Book' (also known as 'European Folk and Fairy Tales'), which exemplifies his commitment to preserving and disseminating the fairy tales of Europe to a broader audience. Jacobs' literary style in his collections is noted for its engaging prose, which captures the immediacy and vibrancy of the oral tradition while making the tales accessible to children and adults alike. Beyond his work as a folklorist, Jacobs produced a range of critical works and studies on literary subjects, imbuing his writing with academic rigor and a keen analytical eye. His scholarly approach and narrative flair combined to ensure that the tales he collected, retold, and contextualized would enchant readers for generations, cementing his legacy as a pivotal figure in the folklore preservation movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
