Abstract
What, precisely, do we mean when we speak of “transgression” and “norm” in a fairy tale? What exactly gets transgressed and how? And to what extent are transgression and norm in and through the fairy tale specific to the genre? From different cultural, linguistic, and historical examples, essays in this special issue probe these and other questions. This special issue of Marvels & Tales on "Norm and Transgression in the Fairy-Tale Tradition" includes a selection of essays developed from papers at a conference of the same name that took place at Brown University, Providence, RI, between June 7 and 9, 2023, which saw the participation of thirty-six speakers coming from eleven different countries and four different continents.
