Download or read book Transgressive Tales written by Kay Turner and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in the Grimm brothers' Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales), first published in 1812 and 1815, have come to define academic and popular understandings of the fairy tale genre. Yet over a period of forty years, the brothers, especially Wilhelm, revised, edited, sanitized, and bowdlerized the tales, publishing the seventh and final edition in 1857 with many of the sexual implications removed. However, the contributors in Transgressive Tales: Queering the Grimms demonstrate that the Grimms and other collectors paid less attention to ridding the tales of non-heterosexual implications and that, in fact, the Grimms' tales are rich with queer possibilities. Editors Kay Turner and Pauline Greenhill introduce the volume with an overview of the tales' literary and interpretive history, surveying their queerness in terms of not just sex, gender and sexuality, but also issues of marginalization, oddity, and not fitting into society. In three thematic sections, contributors then consider a range of tales and their queer themes. In Faux Femininities, essays explore female characters, and their relationships and feminine representation in the tales. Contributors to Revising Rewritings consider queer elements in rewritings of the Grimms' tales, including Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, Jeanette Winterson's Twelve Dancing Princesses, and contemporary reinterpretations of both "Snow White" and "Snow White and Rose Red." Contributors in the final section, Queering the Tales, consider queer elements in some of the Grimms' original tales and explore intriguing issues of gender, biology, patriarchy, and transgression. With the variety of unique perspectives in Transgressive Tales, readers will find new appreciation for the lasting power of the fairy-tale genre. Scholars of fairy-tale studies and gender and sexuality studies will enjoy this thought-provoking volume.

Book excerpt: 1 June - 7 July 1980 Paris, France St. Augustine, Florida Juliette Reiss-Marston's life seems like a fairytale come true. Her college sweetheart, William Fourier, just announced their engagement to marry. Even with the good news, Juliette's suspicions mount about their future together when an overseas letter arrives from a mysterious cousin she hadn't met. In his letter, Claude Freedman Esq. confides that Juliette's recent gift of a dowry is from her 4th great-grandfather and nobleman, Capt. Françoise J. Reiss III: A man with a nefarious past and a memoir, Children of the Alliance. Confused, Juliette confronts her mother, Adrian Reiss-Marston, who insists the Freedman's are 'impostors' and the memoir is a ‘literary forgery.’ Defying her mother's wish to forget about their family's notorious past, Juliette sojourns to St. Augustine, Florida, to meet Mr. Freedman, and to pick up her ancestor's memoir. However, while visiting the “Land of Flowers,” Juliette discovers the truth about her ancestors and fears she opened Pandora's Box, surmising the descendants of the captain and his second wife, Selina Freedman, the heir of a freed Senegalese slave, may be the rightful owners of her dowry. Realizing that knowing the truth may not always mend broken hearts, but can turn heads, Juliette, returns to Paris, France, and hires a team of forensic scientists to investigate her heirloom dowry: The decoratively carved ebony chest of rare gemstones. Shocked by the team's discovery and with INTERPOL on her tail, Juliette calls upon her trusted friends to help her hide the rare gemstones until she can clear her family name...
