She demonstrates how both the normative literary theories of the Italian intellectual establishment and the emerging New Science limited the genre's success on its native soil. Natural philosophers, physicians, and clergymen positioned the fairy tale in opposition to science, fixing it as a negative pole in a binary system, one which came to define both a new type of scientific inquiry and the nascent literary genre. Magnanini also suggests that, by identifying their literary production with the monstrous and the feminine, Straparola and Basile contributed to the marginalization of the new genre." "A wide-ranging yet carefully crafted study, Fairy-Tale Science investigates the complex interplay between scientific discourse and an emerging literary genre, and expands our understanding of the early modern European imagination."--Jacket. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aMonsters in literature 606 $aFairy tales$zItaly$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and science$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aMonsters$vFolklore 606 $aItalian fiction$y16th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian fiction$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aItaly$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aFolklore. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonsters in literature. 615 0$aFairy tales$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory. 615 0$aMonsters 615 0$aItalian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a398.20945/0903 700 $aMagnanini$b Suzanne$01689829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809593203321 996 $aFairy-tale science$94065168 997 $aUNINA
