SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF "SNOW WHITE" VERSIONS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

The editions selected here and listed below were used for the development of the Snow White site, either for textual or visual analysis, or both. There are other editions available but time did not permit locating them. Although I used the early German editions, it is not feasible to include these relatively rare and out-of-print editions. Most of the items used and listed below are from my personal collection. Chronological order is used to demonstrate the frequency of re-tellings of this tale as well as to facilitate a sense of historical development. Because HTML does not consistently read coding for foreign words or letters, I have chosen to ignore accents and umlauts, for which I plead guilty, although I have inserted an "e" in place of the umlaut.
