Abstract

[Ita:]Perchè Tales of long ago è stato tradotto in italiano solo nel 1957, mentre la raccolta di fiabe era stata pubblicata da IvanaBrlić-Mažuranić nel 1916? L'articolo spiega che questo ritardo dipende dallo sviluppo della fiaba in Italia nel corso del Novecento tra tradizioni folkloriche e letteratura per l'infanzia. All'inizio del Novecento c'erano due linee di sviluppo: da una parte venne data attenzione alle fiabe provenienti dal Nord Europa, mentre dall'altra parte vennero valorizzate leggende e racconti popolari. Durante il periodo fascista, la scrittura fantastica fu una "zona franca" che preparò contemporaneamente la ricostruzione culturale del paese e dell'identità europea. Tales of long ago furono tradotte in italiano da Giunti Marzocco (1957) e poi entrarono a far parte dell'"Enciclopedia della Fiaba" . La documentazione archivistica ad oggi inedita permette di comprendere la complessa storia editoriale dell'opera.

The paper explains that this delay depends on the development of fairy tales in Italy during the 20th century between the folktale tradition and fantastic children’s literature. At the beginning of the 20th century there were two lines of evolution: on the one hand, attention was given to fairy tales coming from Northern Europe and, on the other hand, attention was given to traditional and local folktales.
