The work of the Brothers Grimm influenced other collectors, both inspiring them to collect tales and leading them to similarly believe, in a spirit of romantic nationalism, that the fairy tales of a country were particularly representative of it, to the neglect of cross-cultural influence. Among those influenced were the Russian Alexander Afanasyev, the Norwegians Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, the English Joseph Jacobs, and Jeremiah Curtin, an American who collected Irish tales. There was not always a pleased reaction to their collection. Joseph Jacobs was in part inspired by his complaint that English children did not read English fairy tales; in his own words, "What Perrault began, the Grimms completed". Why did fairy tales not foster inter-cultural influences? OPTIONS     1) Fairy tales poisoned the minds of the children who read them; ergo they weren't circulated as extensively.   2) Fairy tales were considered to be racially-biased. Hence they didn't foster inter-cultural influences.   3) Jacob Joseph collected all the tales worth collecting, and didn't disseminate any.   4) Jeremiah Curtin was the only proponent of inter-cultural influences, as he was an American collecting Irish tales.   5) Fairy Tales of a country were strongly guarded as that country's national expression. discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day In Paragraph Completion questions, eliminate options that appear to complete the paragraph but also add new data which require elaboration. more tips Last year's Question of the day (02-Sep-11) Read the sentences and choose the option that best arranges them in a logical order. Most of the philosophers commonly counted "great" have not been sceptics, of course, they are usually quite straightforward with their claims, not only to know, but to know what knowledge is, and often have given reasons supporting their view. Even the extreme sceptic must come dangerously close, for him, to knowing what knowledge is, if his claims are to be at all intelligible and interesting, since a person who does not know what he is denying the possibility or actuality of would have little claim to be taken seriously. Accordingly, each sceptical philosopher has articulated, more or less, a conception of knowledge which he regards as reasonable to accept. From its earliest phases up to the present, philosophical inquiry has taken the nature of knowledge to be a central concern. Still, no philosophical positions have been more contested than those on the nature of knowledge, and this remains so up to today.
