Madame d’Aulnoy’s “The White Cat”: A Factographic Fairy Tale
Abstract:In “The White Cat” (1698), Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy controverts received notions of the fairy tale in length, complexity, and subject matter by presenting a covert critique of the symbolic paternal order she inhabited: the society revolving around the absolutist Louis XIV of France. When embedded in sociocultural, political, and personal contexts, this tale thus invites reading as a factographic text grounded in lived experience. Part 1 foregrounds several precursor texts interwoven into d’Aulnoy’s narrative. Retelling old tales dissociates her subversive story from direct correlation with the author. Part 2 examines the repetitive motif of emboîtement or enclosure throughout “The White Cat” and its generative causes.
期刊介绍:
Marvels & Tales (ISSN: 1521-4281) was founded in 1987 by Jacques Barchilon at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally known as Merveilles & contes, the journal expressed its role as an international forum for folktale and fairy-tale scholarship through its various aliases: Wunder & Märchen, Maravillas & Cuentos, Meraviglie & Racconti, and Marvels & Tales. In 1997, the journal moved to Wayne State University Press and took the definitive title Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies. From the start, Marvels & Tales has served as a central forum for the multidisciplinary study of fairy tales. In its pages, contributors from around the globe have published studies, texts, and translations of fairy-tales from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The Editorial Policy of Marvels & Tales encourages scholarship that introduces new areas of fairy-tale scholarship, as well as research that considers the traditional fairy-tale canon from new perspectives. The journal''s special issues have been particularly popular and have focused on topics such as "Beauty and the Beast," "The Romantic Tale," "Charles Perrault," "Marriage Tests and Marriage Quest in African Oral Literature," "The Italian Tale," and "Angela Carter and the Literary Märchen." Marvels & Tales is published every April and October by Wayne State University Press.
