Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm was a German philologist and mythologist. He was the elder of the Brothers Grimm and the editor of "Grimm's Fairy Tales".
Background
Jacob Grimm was born on January 4, 1785, in Hanau, Germany. In 1791 the family moved to the town of Steinau in the countryside, where the brothers' father was posted as a district magistrate (Amtmann). There the family lived in a large home (the Administration office) and were socially prominent. In 1796, the family feel into a deep financial hardship after Philipp Grimm died of pneumonia. Dorothea and the children had to move out of the house and relinquish the servants, and rely for financial support on her father and sister.
Education
Jacob, with his younger brother Wilhelm, was sent in 1798 to the public school at Cassel. After that, the brothers were educated at the University of Marburg where they became interested in philology and Germanic studies - a field which they pioneered. Jacob graduated in 1806 at the head of his class.
Career
Jacob went on to work as a royal librarian for Napoleon's brother, Jérôme, king of Westphalia, in 1808, and later worked as a municipal auditor. In 1816, Jacob joined his brother to work at a library in Kassel, where Wilhelm had obtained a position as secretary.
Influenced by German Romanticism, a prevailing movement of the time, the brothers robustly studied the folklore of their region, with an emphasis on recording village oral storytelling that was vanishing with the advent of new technology. Jacob's and Wilhelm's work culminated in the book Kinder-und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales), the first volume of which was published in 1812. A second volume followed in 1815. The collection would later come to be known as Grimms' Fairy Tales.
Though the brothers wrote that the tales were taken primarily from German village oral traditions, the stories were in fact an amalgamation of oral and previously printed fairy tales, along with information shared by friends, family members and acquaintances, with non-German influences. The work was translated into dozens of languages, and became regarded as a pioneering force in the field of folkloric investigation.
Jacob also pursued scholarly research on German language history, publishing the first edition of the book Deutsche Grammatik (German Grammar) in 1819. His further research on the rules governing certain languages of related origin led him to create a set of principles. Known as "Grimm's law," this method works to explain Indo-European linguistics.
In 1830 the brothers moved the household to Göttingen, in the Kingdom of Hanover. There they took employment at the University of Göttingen - Jacob as a professor and head librarian and Wilhelm as professor. During the next seven years the brothers continued to research, write and publish. In 1835 Jacob published the well-regarded German Mythology (Deutsche Mythologie). They established the field of German studies at the university, becoming well-respected in the newly created discipline.
In 1838 the brothers began writing a definitive dictionary (German Dictionary, Deutsches Wörterbuch) the first volume of which was not published until 1854.
Later, Jacob and Wilhelm were offered posts at the University of Berlin in 1840. In addition to teaching, they received offers from the Academy of Sciences to continue their research. After their household was established in Berlin, they directed their efforts toward the German dictionary and continued to publish. Jacob began his own research on German legal traditions and the history of the German language, published in the late 1840s and early 1850s.
After the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, the brothers were elected to the civil parliament. At that time Jacob resigned his university position and saw the publication of his The History of the German Language (Geschichte der deutschen Sprache).
The brothers then devoted themselves to work on their German Dictionary for the rest of their lives. After the death of his brother Jacob in 1859, deeply upset, became increasingly reclusive. He continued work on the dictionary until his own death on September 20, 1863.
Achievements
Jacob is recognized for enunciating Grimm's law, the Germanic Sound Shift. He is also the co-author with his brother Wilhelm of the monumental "Deutsches Wörterbuch", the dictionary of the German Language.
His famous work "Deutsche Grammatik" stands alone in the annals of science for its comprehensiveness, method and fullness of detail.
Grimm's contribution to mythology is his great work "Deutsche Mythologie" that covers the whole range of the subject, tracing the mythology and superstitions of the old Teutons back to the very dawn of direct evidence, and following their decay and loss down to the popular traditions, tales and expressions in which they still linger.
By his work "Rechtsalterthümer" he laid the foundations of that historical study of the old Teutonic laws and constitutions which was continued with brilliant success by Georg L. Maurer and others.
Jacob loved his people and wished for a united Germany, he and his brother were vocal proponents of expansionist Pan-Germanism. In the German revolution of 1848, he was given a chance to make these views known when he was elected to the Frankfurt National Parliament. The people of Germany had demanded a constitution, so the Parliament, formed of elected members from various German states, met to form one. Grimm was selected for the office in a large part because of his part in the University of Goettingen's refusal to swear to the king of Hanover expounded upon above. He then went to Frankfurt, where he did not play a big part, but did make some speeches, which tended to stray into the realms of history and philology rather than whatever political question was at hand. Grimm was adamant on one subject, however; he wanted the Danish-ruled but German-speaking duchy of Holstein to be under German control. He talked passionately on this subject, which showed his fierce German nationalism.
Grimm was not made to be a politician, and also soon realized that the National Assembly was not getting anywhere, and so asked to be released from his duties and returned with relief to his former studies. He believed that good would triumph in the Parliament, and pushed for human rights legislation just as he wished for a unified Germany.
Views
Quotations:
Grimm wrote in his autobiography: “Nearly all my labours have been devoted, either directly or indirectly, to the investigation of our earlier language, poetry and laws. These studies may have appeared to many, and may still appear, useless; to me they have always seemed a noble and earnest task, definitely and inseparably connected with our common fatherland, and calculated to foster the love of it. My principle has always been in these investigations to under-value nothing, but to utilize the small for the illustration of the great, the popular tradition for the elucidation of the written monuments.”
Membership
After the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, the brothers were elected to the civil parliament. Jacob became a prominent member of the National Assembly at Mainz.
