I looked at TVTropes.com to see if they referenced any fairytale folklore. In the "Examples" section, they do reference some literature. It doesn't speak much about the evolution of the stereotype, but it's interesting reading, nonetheless.

I'm sure this is all stuff you already know, but it's interesting to see it all neatly laid out in one place.
