Notes

1 All subsequent translations of Walter Benjamin's original texts are mine unless otherwise indicated.

2 In an aside of ‘The Storyteller’ Benjamin notes that ‘this is how the fairy tale polarises Mut [courage], dividing it dialectically into Untermut - that is, cunning - and Ubermut [high spirits]’ (Benjamin Citation1977a: 404).
