| Summary: | Spooky restlessness. Birds in Jacob Grimm's poetic conception deals with a peculiar aspect of Jacob Grimm's poetic conception: within the framework of a nature pervaded by spirituality, a source of fascination for its difficult to access secrets, birds, as inhabitants of the air, are perceived as ghostly creatures, likely to instil in the observer a sense of restlessness. The singular references to the theme found in essays, epistles and works confirm a strong interest in this category of animals and constitute material for analysis in the context of the vast Grimmian production. The object of particularly in-depth recognition is the famous collection of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (in its first and little-known version), the capital book of the German Romantic movement, in which the liminal role of birds can be traced back to archaic myths and popular beliefs. |
