Abstract

By studying surviving editions of "Cinderella" at the British Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum's National Art Library dating from the eighteenth through the early twentieth century, Cullen traces the development in illustration and illustrative elements of the Cinderella story. She parallels these changes with events in society which may have influenced the alterations such as the introduction of pantomime, the emergence of chapbooks, the mid-century popularity of phrenology and physiognomy, magazine publication, the Pre-Raphaelite movement and Victorian notions of femininity.
