"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."--Page 4 of cover
