Jack Zipes

Jack David Zipes is a teacher at the University of Minnesota whose publications and lectures on the great tradition of fairy tales have transformed research on fairy tales and their linguistic roots and socialization function. According to Zipes, fairy tales "serve a meaningful social function, not just for compensation but for revelation: the worlds projected by the best of our fairy tales reveal the gaps between truth and falsehood in our immediate society." Zipes enjoys masking his scholarship with droll titles like Don't Bet on the Prince and The Trials and Tribulations of Little Red Ridinghood. Starting with a PhD in comparative literature from Columbia University, Zipes taught at various institutions before heading German studies at the University of Minnesota. His retranslation of the complete fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm is now the standard.
