Fairy Tales, Sexuality, and Gender in France, 1690–1715: Nostalgic Utopias - Cambridge Studies in French
Seifert, Lewis C. (Brown University, Rhode Island)
Between 1690 and 1715, well over one hundred literary fairy tales appeared in France, two-thirds of them written by women. The first part of this 1996 book situates the rise of this genre within the literary and historical context of late seventeenth-century France, and the second part examines the representation of sexuality, masculinity and femininity within selected groups of tales.
