degrimm1-2, Exercise 1: A timeline to 1812

Model answer (one possible choice; check each date):

1. 1630s: Basile's Lo cunto de li cunti is published after his death. It shows a large literary collection of tales, including versions of stories later found elsewhere.
2. 1690s: d'Aulnoy and other salon writers produce contes de fees in Paris. They give the genre its name and make it fashionable.
3. 1697: Perrault's collection appears. It fixes French versions of tales such as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, with morals attached.
4. 1782 to 1786: Musaus publishes Volksmaerchen der Deutschen. It brings the tale into German literature, in an ironic and literary style.
5. 1805 to 1808: Arnim and Brentano publish Des Knaben Wunderhorn. It gives a model of collecting popular material for a national audience, with free editing.

Other defensible choices include Herder's writings on the Volk or the early German translations of the Arabian Nights. The point is to give a reason for each pick.
