Abstract

"The original edition of Salonnières, Furies, and Fairies, published in 2005, was a pathbreaking work of early modern literary history, exploring women's role in the rise of the fairy tale and their use of this new genre to carve out roles as major contributors to the literature of their time. This new edition, with a new introduction and a forward by acclaimed scholar Allison Stedman, emphasizes the scholarly legacy of Anne Duggan's original work, and its continuing field-changing implications. The book studies the works of two of the most prolific seventeenth-century women writers, Madeleine de Scudéry and Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy. Analyzing their use of the novel, the chronicle, and the fairy tale, Duggan examines how Scudéry and d'Aulnoy responded to and participated in the changes of their society, but from different generational and ideological positions. This study also takes into account the history of the salon, an unofficial institution that served as a locus for elite women's participation in the cultural and literary production of their society. In order to highlight the debates that emerged with the increased participation of aristocratic women within the public sphere, the book also explores the responses of two academicians, Nicolas Boileau and Charles Perrault"--

Abstract

Once upon a time: the forgotten female fabulists whose heroines flipped the fairy tale script. People often associate fairy tales with Disney films and with the male authors from whom Disney often drew inspiration—notably Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen. In these portrayals, the princess is a passive, compliant figure. By contrast, The Lost Princess shows that classic fairy tales such as “Cinderella,” “Rapunzel,” and “Beauty and the Beast” have a much richer, more complex history than Disney’s saccharine depictions. Anne E. Duggan recovers the voices of women writers such as Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy, Marie-Jeanne L’Héritier, and Charlotte-Rose de La Force, who penned popular tales about ogre-killing, pregnant, cross-dressing, dynamic heroines who saved the day. This new history will appeal to anyone who wants to know more about the lost, plucky heroines of historic fairy tales.

Abstract

L’intérêt du public n’a jamais faibli pour Jacques Demy, un des cinéastes les plus singuliers de la Nouvelle Vague, auteur entre autres de Lola, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, Peau d’Âne et Une chambre en ville. Aucune monographie nouvelle, pourtant, ne lui a été consacrée en France depuis plus de vingt ans, comme s’il ne devait être l’objet que des somptueux livres d’images qui se sont multipliés sur sa vie et son œuvre. L’étude finement détaillée de l’universitaire américaine Anne E. Duggan vient combler ce manque et stimuler la réflexion en s’attachant principalement à cinq films analysés en profondeur (aussi bien Lola, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg et Peau d’Âne que les moins connus The Pied Piper et Lady Oscar) pendant que d’autres films du cinéaste sont évoqués plus rapidement. L’approche théorique d’Anne Duggan rompt radicalement avec le consensus critique établi autour de l’œuvre de Demy, puisqu’elle choisit de se placer dans le double éclairage des études sur le conte (dont elle retrouve les archétypes jusque dans Lola et dans Les Parapluies de Cherbourg) et des queer studies qui, dans la continuation des gender studies, cherchent à identifier une pratique artistique fondée sur le refus des marges et des frontières. Le livre d’Anne Duggan est une contribution majeure au renouvellement du discours critique sur Demy. C’est aussi un superbe hommage à la complexité d’une œuvre cinématographique dont on ne se lasse pas d’explorer les faces les plus secrètes.

Abstract

In offering this book to what we hope will be interested readers, we have several aspirations. We have aspired to present to students and clinicians a rather narrow view of epidemiology concentrating on the causal factors and setting of the more usual gastroenterological problems and giving greater space to conditions of importance for which major knowledge of causation andcourse is available. Part of the rationale is thebelief that modern medicine lays excessive emphasis on therapy with increasingly expensive, and in many cases, dangerous drugs and too little emphasis on the causes and avoidance of disease. We are of the view that traditional views handed st down through generations of clinicians need scrutiny worthy of 21 century medicine whose currency includes topics like nanomoles, megabytes and logistic regression. We hope that clinicians will see that there is often a practical application to the findings of epidemiological exploration and that what passes for canonical knowledge is so often unsubstantiated myth and are fully aware of the reluctance of organized medicine to reject old paradigms in favor of the new, matched by an often uncritical enthusiasm for new therapies. Our researches have increased our belief in the major role of social factors especially diet, both in quantity and quality in many disorders and that clinicians have a responsibility to provide appropriate advice to policy makers as well as patients.

Abstract

How have the fairy tales of different cultures changed over the centuries? What do they tell us about our fears and hopes?In a work that spans 2,500 years these ambitious questions are addressed by over 50 experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a period in history. With the help of a broad range of case material they illustrate broad trends and nuances of the fairy tale in Western culture from antiquity to the present. Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six.
