The Teller's Tale
Author: Sophie Raynard
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438443560
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
This book offers new, often unexpected, but always intriguing portraits of the writers of classic fairy tales. For years these authors, who wrote from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, have been either little known or known through skewed, frequently sentimentalized biographical information. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were cast as exemplars of national virtues; Hans Christian Andersen's life became—with his participation—a fairy tale in itself. Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, the prim governess who wrote moral tales for girls, had a more colorful past than her readers would have imagined, and few people knew that nineteen-year-old Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy conspired to kill her much-older husband. Important figures about whom little is known, such as Giovan Francesco Straparola and Giambattista Basile, are rendered more completely than ever before. Uncovering what was obscured for years and with newly discovered evidence, contributors to this fascinating and much-needed volume provide a historical context for Europe's fairy tales.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en

Fairy Tales Framed
Author: Ruth B. Bottigheimer
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 143844222X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
2012 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Most early fairy tale authors had a lot to say about what they wrote. Charles Perrault explained his sources and recounted friends' reactions. His niece Marie-Jeanne Lhéritier and her friend Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy used dedications and commentaries to situate their tales socially and culturally, while the raffish Henriette Julie de Murat accused them all of taking their plots from the Italian writer Giovan Francesco Straparola and admitted to borrowing from the Italians herself. These reflections shed a bright light on both the tales and on their composition, but in every case, they were removed soon after their first publication. Remaining largely unknown, their absence created empty space that later readers filled with their own views about the conditions of production and reception of the tales. What their authors had to say about "Puss in Boots," "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Rapunzel," among many other fairy tales, is collected here for the first time, newly translated and accompanied by rich annotations. Also included are revealing commentaries from the authors' literary contemporaries. As a whole, these forewords, afterwords, and critical words directly address issues that inform the contemporary study of European fairy tales, including traditional folkloristic concerns about fairy tale origins and performance, as well as questions of literary aesthetics and historical context.

Colours of Life
Author: Soar .
Publisher: epubli
ISBN: 3741850004
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
Soar completes her poetical trilogy of love with a last chapter dedicated to the supreme attributes of care, passion and truth. From both an inner and an outer perspective, captured in a web of symbols upon antique or avant-gardist canvasses, the colours are the blending protagonists who shade and unveil emotions from reality to fairy tales, in down-to-earth depictions and magical atmospheres. Like a painter on the quest for truth beyond its setting, with the paintbrush of hopes and beliefs, the author faithfully pursues, throughout hazards of the universe and the constraints of the human mind, the rainbow's droplets of light to finally reach its outmost colourful manifestation on a midday sky, where sun and rain intertwine: the truth has been poetically shaped. Love wins. ------------------------------------ Soar schließt ihre Trilogie der Liebe mit einem letzten Kapitel ab, das den hehren Attributen des Mitgefühls, der Leidenschaft und der Wahrheit gewidmet ist. Aus einer inneren und äußeren Perspektive, gefangen in einem Netz aus Symbolen auf antiken oder avantgardistischen Leinwänden, Farben als strahlende Hauptfiguren, die Emotionen verhüllen oder entblößen, realistisch und märchenhaft, in nüchternen Darstellungen und magischen Atmosphären. Wie ein Maler auf der Suche nach der verborgenen Wahrheit mit dem Pinsel der Hoffnung und Träume in der Hand, verfolgt die Autorin zuversichtlich die glitzernden Lichtfunken des Regenbogens durch die Gefahren des Universums und die Tücken des menschlichen Verstandes, um ihn schließlich in voller Pracht am hellen Mittagshimmel wiederzufinden, in dem sich Sonne und Regen zärtlich verflechten: die Wahrheit poetisch verpackt. Liebe siegt.
