The famous German linguist jacob green (1785- 1863) and his younger brother william green (1786- 1859) had contact with romanticists, but their thoughts tended to bourgeois liberals.
They collect folk fairy tales, record and organize them themselves. The last edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales was published in 1857, and * * * collected 2 16 fairy tales, adding treasures to the world literature treasure house.
The achievements of the brothers grimm
The achievements of the Brothers Grimm in their life are far beyond people's knowledge: they are fruitful folk collectors and outstanding linguists.
They are diligent scholars and professors with both ability and political integrity all their lives. They collected children's and family fairy tales and began to compile the world's largest German dictionary. They preserved and revived the important German traditional culture, and laid the foundation for two major disciplines in German academic circles-Germanic linguistics and German folklore.
Brothers Grimm excavated, sorted out and published a large number of medieval German and European poems, epics, legends and other literary works, striving to be truly and rigorously preserved in the world.
