Abstract:In the early decades of the nineteenth century, literary fairy tales inspired by French contes de fées dominated the scene in the German states. Three retellings of Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy’s “The Bee and the Orange Tree” by German women were published: “The Giant’s Forest” (anonymous 1801); “The Okerlo” (1812), collected from Jeannette Hassenpflug by the Grimms; and “The Bitter Orange Tree and the Bee” by Karoline Stahl. Though romance is central to d’Aulnoy’s tale, the German variants reduce this element and focus instead on d’Aulnoy’s depiction of navigating the patriarchy and avoiding the monstrous desires of men with tools of feminine cleverness, magic, and help.

Abstract:In Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy’s animal tales such as “The White Cat,” “The Blue Bird,” and “The Bee and the Orange Tree,” magical transformations enable the principle characters to transgress the limits imposed upon them by their gender and species, challenging misogynistic and anthropocentric hierarchies that reinforce the superiority of men over women, mind over body, and humans over animals. The metamorphosing bodies of the characters function as narrative sites where multiple identities and sexualities intersect. Creating hybrid identities and queer relationships that expand a restrictive heteronormativity, these stories demonstrate the fluid and dynamic nature of sex, gender, and desire.

Abstract:“Monkey Tails” presents a side-by-side analysis of two fairy tales with metamorphosed monkey princesses, Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy’s “Babiole” (1698) and Friederike Helene Unger’s “Prinzessin Gräcula” (1804). Each tale explores its heroine’s path to disenchantment and humanity through the lens of the animal–human divide as articulated by the philosophers René Descartes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Descartes’s parameters—intelligence, language, reason, feeling, and a soul—propel “Babiole”; “Prinzessin Gräcula” unfolds with Rousseau’s idea of “perfectibility” and its components of self-consciousness, rationality, and morality. Ultimately d’Aulnoy and Unger use these philosophies to comment on the nature of woman and her progression to equality.
