Is there any dissertation on Wilhelm Grimm's Liebe Mili Tale?

Answer 1

I am the author of a dissertation on Wilhelm Grimm's Liebe Mili tale, completed at New York University in 1991 and entitled: "An Analysis of Wilhelm Grimm's 'Dear Mili' Employing von Franzian Methodological Processes." This tale was analyzed from a literary, Mariological, and Jungian depth-psychological perspective, in which I argued that Wilhelm Grimm's perplexing, yet highly intriguing 19th century German tale could be interpreted as a tale of human individuation -- the soteriological growth and development of the human persona to experience its fullest potentialities; and the corresponding archetypal, numinous experiences encountered during that process. Copies of the dissertation may be obtained from University Microfilms International (UMI).
