2, Both brothers attended the University of Marburg,
where they developed a curiosity about German folklore, which grew into a
lifelong dedication to collecting German folktales. The rise of Romanticism in
19th-century Europe revived interest in traditional folk stories, which to the
Brothers Grimm represented a pure form of national literature and culture. With
the goal of researching a scholarly treatise on folktales, they established a
methodology for collecting and recording folk stories that became the basis for
folklore studies.
