Don't Bet on the Prince: Contemporary Feminist Fairy Tales in North America and England
of Jack D. Zipes, Jane Yolen (Goodreads Author) (Contributor), Tanith Lee (Contributor), Angela Carter (Contributor), Meghan B. Collins (Contributor)
Description
This anthology of feminist fairy tales and critical essays acts as an example of how the literature of fantasy and imagination can be harnessed to create a new view of the world. It demonstrates how recent writers have changed the aesthetic constructs and social content of fairy tales to reflect cultural change since the 1960s in area of gender roles, socialization and education. It includes selected works from such writers as Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood and Jay Williams, and critical essays from Marcia Lieberman and Sandra Gilbert.
