With three key texts from the 1970s at the center of her discussion-Marcia K. Lieberman's \"Some Day My Prince Will Come,\" Bruno Bettelheim's The Uses of Enchantment, and Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic-Joosen connects the critical views expressed in these feminist and psychoanalytic interpretations with fictional fairy-tale retellings and illustrations that have been published in Dutch, English, and German since the 1970s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile readers may not automatically connect fairy-tale retellings and criticism, Joosen argues that they represent a similar conviction to understand, interpret, criticize, and experiment with the original tale. Moving through her three critical focus texts in chronological order, Joosen addresses fairy-tale retellings in prose, poetry, and pictures, including revisions of \"Snow White,\" \"Cinderella,\" \"Sleeping Beauty,\" \"Hansel and Gretel,\" \"Little Red Riding Hood,\" and \"Beauty and the Beast.\" Authors and illustrators whose work is discussed include Paul Biegel, Anthony Browne, Gillian Cross, Emma Donoghue, Iring Fetscher, Adèle Geras, Otto Gmelin, Wim Hofman, Anne Provoost, Anne Sexton, Barbara Walker, and Jane Yolen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoosen argues that retellings and criticism participate in a continuous and dynamic dialogue about the traditional fairy tale, but on different terms.\u003ci\u003e Critical and Creative Perspectives on Fairy Tales\u003c\/i\u003e offers many insights into the workings of fiction and criticism that will appeal to fairy-tale scholars, literature scholars, and general readers interested in intertextuality and fairy tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eVanessa Joosen is a researcher and lecturer in children's literature at the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
