Hedwig von Beit

Hedwig Johanna Henriette von Beit (1896–1973)[1] was a self-taught German philologist and folklorist who is remembered for her mammoth work Symbolik des Märchens (Symbolism of Fairy Tales). Published in three volumes in 1952,[2] it was based largely on the contributions of the Swiss Jungian scholar Marie-Louise von Franz although she was not credited for her collaboration.[3][4] In 2020, the book was republished by the Foundation for Jungian Psychology under the authorship of Marie-Louise von Franz. The English translation by Roy Freeman was titled Archetypal Symbols in Fairytales.[5]
