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. 606 $aFairy tales$zFrance$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFairy tales$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen heroes in literature 606 $aPrincesses in literature 606 $aWomen authors$xHistory 606 $aFrench literature$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aFairy tales$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aFairy tales$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen heroes in literature. 615 0$aPrincesses in literature. 615 0$aWomen authors$xHistory. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aDuggan$b Anne E.$f1967-$01328421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910915796903321 996 $aThe lost princess$94303372 997 $aUNINA
