This paper explores the cultural roles of tale-telling, and how these roles may
have been transformed by the transcription of folk and fairy tales into “literature,” with reference
to Paul Connerton’s ideas of habit-memory and collective identity, Benedict Anderson’s writing
on the rise of print capitalism, and Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of cultural capital and the power of
language.
