The Fairy Mythology of Shakespeare - Tarl Warwick - Bog

The use of the fairy as a fixture in Shakespeare is quite well known- but where did Shakespeare get his imagery for this phenomenon from? Nutt here explores that, deriving from Grimm and other sources in order to create a study which compiles material both antiquated in Shakespeares' own era and contemporary to it in the folkloric sense.While short, it is dense, and provides a bibliographic appendix for further reading, among other things.
