Wonder Tales: Critical and Creative Approaches publishes innovative scholarship and creative engagement with wonder tales across cultural traditions, offering a platform for critical studies that examine wonder as narrative mode and cultural practice. We position wonder tales as a rich transnational corpus that travels between orality and print, folklore and literature, performance and digital media, traditional storytelling and creative experimentation. Volumes in the series will engage with wonder as a concept with varied cultural, aesthetic, political, and ethical dimensions, while also addressing approaches and traditions that remain under-represented in existing folklore and fairy-tale studies. Collaborations among scholars, translators, artists, and storytellers are encouraged.

 

The series editors welcome proposals for monographs, essay collections, creative-and-analytical work, and/or story collections with critical apparatus, centering wonder and wonder tales from various oral traditions, literary works, films, and/or digital media. Proposals ranging from 8 to 20 pages should follow the press’s guidelines: https://upcolorado.com/publish-with-us/submissions#utah-state-university-
