Summary "The Science of Fairy Tales: An Inquiry into Fairy Mythology" by Edwin Sidney Hartland is a scholarly publication written in the late 19th century. This work embarks on an exploration of fairy tales, focusing on the deep-rooted myths and traditions embedded within them, particularly from Celtic and Teutonic cultures. Hartland aims to articulate the research principles applied to the study of these stories, attempting to provide insights into their origins and cultural significance. The opening of this inquiry introduces the art of story-telling as a universal human tradition, tracing its evolution from primitive narratives to more sophisticated forms seen in modern literature. It establishes a foundation for discussing how fairy tales are defined and how they reflect the cultural and psychological landscapes of the societies that produce them. Hartland highlights the significance of oral traditions and the unique characteristics of these tales, emphasizing their commonality across different cultures and time periods. He sets the tone for a methodological exploration of popular fairy tales, suggesting that understanding these stories requires an appreciation of the broader social and historical contexts from which they emerge.
