The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids: The Animalistic, the Wondrous and the Childlike in Croatian Literature of the Second Half of the 19th Century
This article deals with the issues involved in determining the genre of the oldest story about the wolf and the seven kids in Croatian children’s literature: “Priča o kozlićih” [The Tale of Kids] by Ljudevit Tomšić, which was published in 1877. Is this story a fairy tale, as claimed by Vladimir Propp? Or is it a cautionary tale, as has been claimed more recently based on the research done by Marianne Rumpf and Paul Delarue? Perhaps it is an animal tale, as had been claimed by Antti Aarne? In this article a constructivist view of literary and folklore genres is adopted. After presenting the three central genre classifications of this tale, we shall compare them with selected ethnological, historiographic, literary studies and animalist insights, focusing primarily on the image of the wolf as well as various reader, listener, pedagogic, publishing practices etc. characteristic of Croatian society at the time of the publication of the “Priča o kozlićih”.
