The Lost Princess London : Reaktion Books, Limited,c2023 9781789147698 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- A not-so-passive Cinderella -- Beauties, beasts and d'Aulnoy's legacy -- The other famous cat tale -- The lost Amazon warriors -- Epilogue.Once upon a time: the forgotten female fabulists whose heroines flipped the fairy tale script. People often associate fairy tales with Disney films and with the male authors from whom Disney often drew inspiration--notably Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen. In these portrayals, the princess is a passive, compliant figure. By contrast, The Lost Princess shows that classic fairy tales such as "Cinderella," "Rapunzel," and "Beauty and the Beast" have a much richer, more complex history than Disney's saccharine depictions. Anne E. Duggan recovers the voices of women writers such as Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, Marie-Jeanne L'Héritier, and Charlotte-Rose de La Force, who penned popular tales about ogre-killing, pregnant, cross-dressing, dynamic heroines who saved the day. This new history will appeal to anyone who wants to know more about the lost, plucky heroines of historic fairy tales.Fairy talesFranceHistory and criticismFairy talesWomen authorsHistory and criticismWomen heroes in literaturePrincesses in literatureWomen authorsHistoryFrench literature17th centuryHistory and criticismFrench literature18th centuryHistory and criticismFrench literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismFairy talesHistory and criticismFairy talesWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Women heroes in literature.Princesses in literature.Women authorsHistory.French literatureHistory and criticism.French literatureHistory and criticism.French literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Duggan Anne E.1967-1328421MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910915796903321The lost princess4303372UNINA
