The article aims at analysing the motif of dream and its function in fairy tales and stories by Hans Christian Andersen. The Dannish author wrote during the Romantic era when the unconscious was of great interest to the creators of all kind. It was widely acknowledged then that dreams are a gateway to a hidden reality, and therefore, they constituted a great creative material. In Andersen’s work, the oneiric narrative abounds, for instance in Little Ida’s Flowers and The Little Match Girl, and dreams perform multitudinoulsy functions, from familiarizing children with death, to unveiling fears. The examples of dreams presented in the article indicate to the fact that Andersen’s oeuvre was addressed not only to children, but also adults.

This article discusses the patriotic themes in the works of the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. These considerations are based on selected “songs about the fatherland” written by the author discussed in the perspective of the program of the Danish national Romantic era. Based on the analytical material, the author carries out the reconstruction of Andersen’s vision of the fatherland, pointing to its multidimensionality dictated by the historical and literary context. Focusing on lyric poetry, the article also contributes to the broadening of Andersen’s reception in Poland to include the genres marginalized so far, giving a more complete picture of the fairy tale writer’s works.

Hans Christian Andersen in Polish literary space, differently than in Danish, remains as a writer “packed into a child recipient”. In the new curriculum Andersen’s tales are on the compulsory reading list for the first stage of education (grades 1–3). Such early contact with the Danish writer’s works results in restricted perception of them. It would be justified to offer Andersen’s text to older recipients. Enculturative messages at the time of writing the works of the famous writer were definitely more unambiguous. The Victorian upbringing model assigned socially expected roles to women and men. Today, the paradigm of femininity and masculinity constitutes a conglomerate of traditional and egalitarian patterns of behaviour (gender roles). The advantage of the more pronounced (in reference to traditional tales) female creations in the works of Andersen tells us to turn into the female recipient. Patterns instilled into the readers by means of the well-known works of Andersen have been evaluated, to a greater extent, as negative or stereotypical, fitting into the old-fashioned upbringing model, harmful. The article attempts to verify some of the research positions and tries to determine what cultural messages send Andersen’s works in the scope of enculturative patterns for girls.

The main focus of the present paper is the so-called ”intertextual revision”, explored as one of the most recent and innovative strategies employed while reviving the legacy of the Danish fairy-tale classic Hans Christian Andersen. In order to illustrate this practice, I discuss a short story entitled Travels with the Snow Queen (2001), by an American writer Kelly Link, which is a reworking of Andersen's world-famous fairy tale The Snow Queen (1844). Link's take on Andersen's tale represents one of the leading directions within revisionary fairy-tale fiction, inspired by feminism and gender criticism. The analysis is centered around the narrative strategies employed by the author in order to challenge the gender logic incorporated into Andersen's account, as well as the broader fairy-tale tradition it belongs to.
