F FOLKLORE AND FAIRY-TALE STUDIES / CRITICISM “The essays in this volume brilliantly work the rich seam of critical and creative writing that has formed around fairy tales in the past four decades. They turn our attention to fiction by Carter, Coover, Rushdie, Atwood, and others who rely on discourses of popular culture to produce fiction with the power to startle, disturb, and move.” MARIA TATAR, John L. Loeb Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University and author of Annotated Hans Christian Andersen and Secrets Beyond the Door: The Story of Bluebeard and His Wives “An excellent volume. Contributors in each case go beyond what is ‘usually said’ to bring fresh insights to the works they discuss.” DANIELLE ROEMER, associate professor of English at Northern Kentucky University and co-editor of Angela Carter and the Fairy Tale (Wayne State University Press, ) STEPHEN BENSON is senior lecturer in the School of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, UK. He is the author of Cycles of Influence: Fiction, Folktale, Theory (Wayne State University Press, ) and Literary Music: Writing Music in Contemporary Fiction.
