Keywords:
Pseudonym, Folklorism, English Fairy TalesAbstract
This article explores the artistic, psychological, and sociocultural dimensions of pseudonym and folklorism in English fairy tales. It focuses on how pseudonyms and symbolic character names function as creative tools that shape identity, morality, and worldview within folklore. The study also examines the phenomenon of folklorism—the adaptation and transformation of traditional folklore motifs in literary and popular culture—and analyzes how symbolic names and pseudonyms perform social, moral, and spiritual roles. Through textual and theoretical analysis, the paper reveals the deep interconnection between language, imagination, and collective consciousness in English folk narratives.
