Most of today's familiar fairy tales come from the stories of
Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen,
but this innovative study encourages us to explore the marvelous
tales of authors from the early modern period Giovanni Straparola,
Giambattista Basile, Madame Marie-Catherine D'Aulnoy, and others
whose works enrich and expand the canon. As author Jo Eldridge
Carney shows, the queen is omnipresent in these stories, as much a
hallmark of the genre as other familiar characteristics such as the
number three, magical objects, and happy endings. That queens
occupy such space in early modern tales is not surprising given the
profound influence of so many powerful queens in the political
landscapes of early modern England and Europe. Carney makes a
powerful argument for the historical relevance of fairy tales and,
by exploring the dynamic intersection between fictional and actual
queens, shows how history and folk literature mutually enrich our
understanding of the period.
