Postmodern Fairy Tales seeks to understand the fairy tale not as
children's literature but within the broader context of folklore
and literary studies. It focuses on the narrative strategies
through which women are portrayed in four classic stories: "Snow
White," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Beauty and the Beast," and
"Bluebeard." Bacchilega traces the oral sources of each tale,
offers a provocative interpretation of contemporary versions by
Angela Carter, Robert Coover, Donald Barthelme, Margaret Atwood,
and Tanith Lee, and explores the ways in which the tales are
transformed in film, television, and musicals.
