Convinced of the political relevance of their folk tale collections and grammatical studies, the Brothers Grimm argued that they could help disentangle language groups from one another, redraw the boundaries of states in Europe, and counsel kings and princes on the proper extent and character of their rule. They sought not only to recover and revive a neglected native culture for a contemporary audience, but also to facilitate a more harmonious and enduring relationship between the traditional political elite and an emerging national collective. Through close historical analysis, Norberg reconstructs how the Grimms wished to mediate between sovereigns and peoples, politics and culture. 600 10 $a Grimm, Jacob, $d 1785-1863 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Grimm, Wilhelm, $d 1786-1859 $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Nationalism and literature $z Germany $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Germany $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781009075152 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032425.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221103012100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72D6D83A0CA811EDB1735DF129ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
