Excellent- More about The Lost Princess: Women Writers and the History of Classic Fairy Tales
The Lost Princess reveals that classic fairy tales such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Beauty and the Beast have a more complex history than Disney's saccharine depictions, and that women writers such as Marie-Catherine d Aulnoy, Marie-Jeanne L Heritier, and Charlotte-Rose de La Force penned popular tales about ogre-killing, pregnant, cross-dressing, dynamic heroines who saved the day.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 320 pages

Publisher: Reaktion Books
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'Heritier, 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.
