Joseph Jacobs

    Joseph Jacobs war eine Schlüsselfigur in der Sammlung und Popularisierung von Folklore, insbesondere von englischen Märchen. Seine sorgfältige Arbeit brachte dauerhafte Versionen klassischer Geschichten einem breiten Publikum nahe und prägte deren moderne Erzählungen. Über englische Traditionen hinaus befasste er sich mit kontinentaleuropäischen, jüdischen, keltischen und indischen Erzählungen und etablierte sich als herausragender Erzähler in englischer Sprache. Seine redaktionellen Beiträge zu Zeitschriften und Sammlungen festigten sein Erbe als bedeutender Volkskundler weiter.
