La fiaba letteraria inglese. Metamorfosi di un genere

This book is about rewriting practices and adaptations of the literary fairy tale (for both child and adult addressees) in the English-speaking world (Britain in particular), focussing on two periods, the Victorian and the Postmodern. The book questions and challenges (in the light of growing feminist concern with children's literature) the social values and role models supported by the fairy tales of the canon, as historical documents and vehicles of dominant cultural patterns.
