Lecture: “Cinderella, Rapunzel, and the Brothers Grimm” by Dr. Jennifer L. Geer, Professor of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Great Hall • 7 p.m.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm did not invent famous fairy tale characters such as Cinderella and Rapunzel. They adapted earlier tales from France and Italy. Discover more about the men who became the Brothers Grimm and how they reworked Cinderella and Rapunzel’s stories to appeal to a mostly middle-class and Christian German audience.
