Grimm brothers

Grimm brothers

Jakob (Ludwig Karl) (1785–1863) and Wilhelm (1786–1859), philologists and collectors of German fairy tales such as ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and ‘Rumpelstiltskin’. Joint compilers of an exhaustive dictionary of German, they saw the study of language and the collecting of folk tales as strands in a single enterprise.

Encouraged by a spirit of Romantic nationalism, the brothers collected stories from friends, relatives, and villagers. Kinder und Hausmärchen/Nursery and Household Tales were published as successive volumes 1812, 1815, and 1822. Jakob was professor of philology at Göttingen and formulator of Grimm's law. His Deutsche Grammatick/German Grammar 1819 was the first historical treatment of the Germanic languages.
