"The stories in the Grimm brothers' Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household
Tales), first published in 1812 and 1815, have come to define academic and popular
understandings of the fairy tale genre. Yet over a period of forty years, the brothers,
especially Wilhelm, revised, edited, sanitized, and bowdlerized the tales, publishing
the seventh and final edition in 1857 with many of the sexual implications removed.
However, the contributors in Transgressive Tales: Queering the Grimms demonstrate
that the Grimms and other collectors paid less attention to ridding the tales of non-heterosexual
implications and that, in fact, the Grimms' tales are rich with queer possibilities.
Editors Kay Turner and Pauline Greenhill introduce the volume with an overview of
the tales' literary and interpretive history, surveying their queerness in terms of
not just sex, gender and sexuality, but also issues of marginalization, oddity, and
not fitting into society. In three thematic sections, contributors then consider a
range of tales and their queer themes. In Faux Femininities, essays explore female
characters, and their relationships and feminine representation in the tales. Contributors
to Revising Rewritings consider queer elements in rewritings of the Grimms' tales,
including Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, Jeanette Winterson's Twelve Dancing
Princesses, and contemporary reinterpretations of both 'Snow White' and 'Snow White
and Rose Red.' Contributors in the final section, Queering the Tales, consider queer
elements in some of the Grimms' original tales and explore intriguing issues of gender,
biology, patriarchy, and transgression."--Publisher description
