Beschreibung

From the perspective of today's pedagogy, this German literature is accused of promoting repression and hostility. Repressive children's literature such as the "Struwwelpeter" by Heinrich Hoffmann, represents childish bad habits and their evil consequences in the countless, moral tales published in the early 19th century. Its textual and pictorial design is so unique and concise that it created a genre. The "Struwwelpetriaden," sadistic imagination of Hoffmann is being criticized today, as a tool that helped children be deformed into fearful, uptight German subjects. In fact, its popularity grew since it was used as a "parenting aid" in Germany and Austria during and after World War II. At a time when the housing was particularly cramped by city bombing, when in most families, mothers alone had to bear the burden of educating the children while men served in the military. The moral pedagogical character of the "Struwwelpeter" may explain its success with adults and its lasting success in general. Not dated, circa 1940, age-toned covers, pages darkened.
