A serial wife murderer, he keeps a horror chamber in which remains of all his previous matrimonial victims are secreted from his latest bride. She is given all the keys but forbidden to open one door of the castle. This is a major study of the tale and its many variants in English: from the 18th and 19th century chapbooks, children's toybooks, pantomimes, melodramas, and circus spectaculars, to the 20th century in music, literature, art, film, and theatre. 606 $aBluebeard (Legendary character) in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFairy tales$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFairy tales in literature 615 0$aBluebeard (Legendary character) in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFairy tales$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFairy tales in literature. 676 $a820/.9351 700 $aHermansson$b Casie$01096842 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955136903321 996 $aBluebeard$94376864 997 $aUNINA
