The Fairy Tale World

The Fairy Tale World

The Fairy Tale World is a definitive volume on this ever-evolving field. The book draws on recent critical attention contesting romantic ideas about timeless tales of good and evil and arguing that fairy tales are culturally astute narratives that reflect the historical and material circumstances of the societies in which they are produced. The Fairy Tale World takes a uniquely global perspective and broadens the international cultural and critical scope of fairy-tale studies. Throughout the five parts the volume challenges the previously Eurocentric focus of fairy-tale studies with contributors looking at:• the contrast between traditional canonical fairy tales and more modern reinterpretations;• responses to the fairy tale around the world including works from every continent;• applications of the fairy tale in diverse media from oral tradition to the commercialized films of Hollywood and Bollywood;• debates concerning the global and local ownership of fairy tales and the impact the digital age and an exponentially globalized world have on traditional narratives;• the fairy tale as told through art dance theatre fan fiction and film. This volume brings together a selection of the most respected voices in the field offering ground-breaking analysis of the fairy tale in relation to ethnicity colonialism feminism disability sexuality the environment and class. An indispensable resource for students and scholars alike The Fairy Tale World seeks to discover how such a traditional area of literature has remained so enduringly relevant in the modern world.

The Companion to 'A Tale of Two Cities'

The Companion to 'A Tale of Two Cities'

This book first published in 1988 reveals the great care Dickens took with the planning and preparation of A Tale of Two Cities and its roots. It also explores the aspects of Dickens’s life especially his interest in private theatricals which contributed to the genesis of the novel. For the first time the historical sources for the very individual account of the French Revolution presented in A Tale of Two Cities are examined and the book investigates the novelist’s debt to French and English eye-witnesses. This Companion identifies the multitude of allusions to what Dickens often regarded as the whims of eighteenth-century justice religion philosophy fashion and society. It provides the modern reader with both fundamental sources of information and a fascinating account of the creation of a complex historical novel. | The Companion to 'A Tale of Two Cities'

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

This two-volume collection includes fairy tales produced by African American Caribbean Irish and other marginalized authors in the Anglophone world. These tales are a part of the expanding cartographies of the fairy-tale world during the long nineteenth-century. While new collections devoted to emerging minority writers include some new and exciting fairy tales this collection is particularly interested in demonstrating the historic nature of this tradition. Minority writers have been creating fairy tales alongside mainstream authors since the golden age of the fairy tales. Many of these stories have been overlooked because they are embedded in a range of literary genres including novels dramas poems and lyrics. This collection mines these fairy tales and makes out-of-print or otherwise relatively inaccessible marginalized fairy tales available to a new generation of scholars. Fairy Tales from the Margins is essential to moving fairy-tale studies beyond its current boundaries which also limit the field’s current theories and ideologies. While some written collections are beginning to include fairy tales by historically marginalized writers there are no collections dedicated to the fairy tales produced by marginalized writers or people of color particularly during the nineteenth century. And there are no online collections of these distinctive fairy tales. This collection breaks new ground in the field of fairy-tale studies and will allow scholars and researchers to engage with issues that are becoming urgent in an era of rising racial tensions. This study expands upon the long-standing connections between Scottish Welsh Irish African American and Caribbean revival movements demonstrating the ways fairy tales are incorporated into earlier forms of ethnic protest literature. This collection is divided by tale types to demonstrate the wide range of responses to a single tale or group of fairy tales. These divisions rely loosely on the traditional Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification system. Although these tales are primarily written by own-voice authors a few out-of-print collections of recorded oral tales are also included to demonstrate the longevity of these tales outside mainstream traditions where print traditions are not available. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century
