The stories in the Grimm brothers' 'Kinder- und Hausmärchen', first published in 1812 and 1815, have come to define academic and popular understandings of the fairy tale genre. Yet over a period of 40 years, the brothers, especially Wilhelm, revised, edited, sanitised, and bowdlerised the tales, publishing the seventh and final edition in 1857 with many of the sexual implications removed. However, the contributors in 'Trangressive Tales' demonstrate that the Grimms and other collectors paid less attention to ridding the tales of non-heterosexual implications.
