Between 1690 and 1715, well over one hundred literary fairy tales appeared in France, two-thirds of them written by women. The first part of this 1996 book situates the rise of this genre within the literary and historical context of late seventeenth-century France, and the second part examines the representation of sexuality, masculinity and femininity within selected groups of tales.
