Levinas and Medieval Literature: The Difficult Reading of English and Rabbinic Texts
With this academic study, Anderson provides a comprehensive and at times exhausting examination of fairytale antecedents in ancient (mostly Western) mythology. It's a thorough, well-researched study, with chapters focusing on specific fairy tales--like "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Little Red Riding Hood"--as well as general categories of tales. If this sounds like something you need for research purposes, you should definitely pick it up. It lacks the engaging prose style of some other fairytale academics, like Jack D. Zipes or Marina Warner, but while I won't be reading it cover-to-cover again, I'm keeping my copy in case I need it for research. It certainly seems like it opens up a lot of research potential for other academics to explore.
