Background of the times:

The life and creative fate of the Brothers Grimm are inextricably linked with The Romantic Period in German literature. The Romantic Literature Movement, which was born out of the French Revolution (1789- 1794), swept across Europe at the turn of 18- 19 century, and it first blossomed in this chaotic and backward land of Germany.

Germany at that time was the most disastrous nation-state in Europe. Since the Thirty Years' War (16 18- 1648), Germany, which became the main battlefield, fell apart politically and economically. Although nominally still known as the "Holy Roman Empire", it has actually split into a "Butou feudal empire" composed of more than 360 principalities and free cities.

1806, the Napoleonic Wars sweeping Europe completely disintegrated the Holy Roman Empire. Under the conquest and rule of France, the German people's national consciousness was awakened, and their desire for German national unity and strength was unprecedentedly high. In this situation, a large number of intellectuals devoted themselves to the national liberation movement.

However, in this divided German society, the differences between many principalities, including language and culture, have become obstacles to national unity. In order to eliminate this cultural obstacle, German intellectuals began to promote cultural nationalism, hoping to promote national unity with the help of the ancient Germanic national culture. German romantics in this period, while adhering to the spirit of romantic culture, also turned their attention to the traditional folk culture, sorted out and studied German folk literature, and carried it forward.
