TL;DR: Salonnieres, Furies, and Fairies as discussed by the authors is a study of the works of two of the most prolific seventeenth-century women writers, Madeleine de Scudery and Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy.
Abstract: Salonnieres, Furies, and Fairies is a study of the works of two of the most prolific seventeenth-century women writers, Madeleine de Scudery and Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy. Analyzing their use of the novel, the chronicle, and the fairy tale, Duggan examines how Scudery and d'Aulnoy responded to and participated in the changes of their society, but from different generational and ideological positions. As both Scudery and d'Aulnoy wrote from within the context of the salon, this study also takes into account the history of the salon, an unofficial institution that served as a locus for elite women's participation in the cultural and literary production of their society. In order to highlight the debates that emerged with the increased participation of aristocratic or mondain women within the public sphere, the book explores the responses of two academicians. Nicolas Boileau and Charles Perrault, to the active presence of women within the public sphere.

TL;DR: The Carte de Tendre as mentioned in this paper has been interpreted as a board game of the ways to a woman's heart, a game of love between a man and a woman, which was played in the salon of Madelaine de Scudery.
Abstract: tithe Carte de Tendre remains as familiar to students and scholars of French literature as its accompanying Gazette de Tendre, a document discovered in the mid-nineteenth century by Emile Colombey among the manuscripts of Valentin Conrart, does not. Those who have considered the Carte to be no more than Madelaine de Scudery's "board game of the ways to a woman's heart" (DeJean 87) may find their interpretation reaffirmed by the Gazette, a legend to a novel-map that chronicles the trajectories of Scudery's habitues from Nouvelle Amitie to Tendre. Yet, close inspection of the Gazette makes clear that the Carte is not simply a game of love, but an extensive attempt to formulate a utopie model for social and political relations within a salon or state, a model that was to challenge those being proposed by proponents of patriarchy and the absolutist state. The Gazette appears to have been written within the context of Scudery's salon as a group collaboration, and for two reasons. First, the Gazette, as well as the Journee des Madrigaux and Carnaval des Pretieuses which Colombey published together in 18S6, is untitled, suggesting no single author, although Pellisson, the "chroniqueur" (Scudery 1856:16) of the salon, may have recorded the text. Second, within the milieu of the seventeenth-century salon, authorship was perceived to be "the collective signature of the salon [...] the 'author' is the

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an encyclopedic coverage of folktales and fairy tales from around the world, including motifs, themes, characters, and types.
Abstract: Encyclopedic in its coverage, this one-of-a-kind reference is ideal for students, scholars, and others who need reliable, up-to-date information on folk and fairy tales, past and present. Folktales and fairy tales have long played an important role in cultures around the world. They pass customs and lore from generation to generation, provide insights into the peoples who created them, and offer inspiration to creative artists working in media that now include television, film, manga, photography, and computer games. This second, expanded edition of an award-winning reference will help students and teachers as well as storytellers, writers, and creative artists delve into this enchanting world and keep pace with its past and its many new facets. Alphabetically organized and global in scope, the work is the only multivolume reference in English to offer encyclopedic coverage of this subject matter. The four-volume collection covers national, cultural, regional, and linguistic traditions from around the world as well as motifs, themes, characters, and tale types. Writers and illustrators are included as are filmmakers and composers-and, of course, the tales themselves. The expert entries within volumes 1 through 3 are based on the latest research and developments while the contents of volume 4 comprises tales and texts. While most books either present readers with tales from certain countries or cultures or with thematic entries, this encyclopedia stands alone in that it does both, making it a truly unique, one-stop resource. Provides encyclopedic coverage of folktales and fairy tales from around the globe Covers not only the history of the fairy tale, but also topics of contemporary importance such as the fairy tale in manga, television, pop music, and music videos Brings together the study of geography, culture, history, and anthropology Revises and expands an award-winning work to now include a full volume of selected tales and texts

TL;DR: The Bee and the Orange Tree in fairy tales of late-seventeenth-century France as mentioned in this paper is a classic fairy tale that depicts a savage nature that sharply contrasts with the civility of the main protagonist, princess Aimee.
Abstract: Fairy tales of late-seventeenth-century France are replete with images of nature. Stories often take place in forests and idyllic gardens serving as the backdrop for the actions of animal-like characters, as well as princes and princesses momentarily metamorphosed into animals. At the same time, these tales put forth ideals of behavior that seem more appropriate for a court or city culture than for wild forests or the countryside. Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy’s “L’oranger et l’abeille” (“The Bee and the Orange Tree”) is particularly striking in its representation of a savage nature that sharply contrasts with the civility of the tale’s main protagonist, princess Aimee. In many ways the tale can be read as a commentary on the relation between nature and culture, which has implications, as I will argue, regarding d’Aulnoy’s perspective on gender and society. In order to highlight the ideological underpinnings of d’Aulnoy’s tale with respect to nature and culture, we will first consider the ways in which Charles Perrault defines “feminine nature” in his tale “Griselidis” (“Patient Griselda”), then look at how d’Aulnoy uses “nature” to legitimate the equality of the sexes in “The Bee and the Orange Tree,” and finally discuss how d’Aulnoy situates her ideal society within the nature-culture spectrum in ways that anticipate the theories of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Since at least the early modern period, particularly after the “discovery” of the New World, European writers, philosophers, and scholars have been

TL;DR: The authors examines the dialogue genre in seventeenth-century England and argues that the appeal of dialogue was its flexibility and ability to educate a broad range of people across all demographics of sixteen-eighteenth century England.
Abstract: This thesis examines the dialogue genre in seventeenth-century England. In 1681 when Henry Care established his periodical The Popish Courant he chose the format of a dialogue because people were ‘so set upon dialoging.’ Care’s choice of dialogue for his periodical is indicative of the popularity of dialogue in the seventeenth century. Yet, despite the popularity that dialogue enjoyed in this period it has not received comparative attention by scholars. This thesis seeks to address this gap and make two specific historiographical contributions. Firstly, it demonstrates how the digitization of early modern sources can enable scholars to approach literary history from perspectives that physical books prevent. Using the digital collections of Early English Books Online, British Periodicals Online, and Eighteenth Century Collections Online for its source material this thesis has used a database of dialogues to analyze the genre and provide contextual knowledge about the genre as a whole that can illuminate the rhetorical objectives behind specific uses of dialogue. This is particularly exposed in the final chapter that utilizes this contextual information to understand the appeal of dialogue in Roger L’Estrange’s Observator. Secondly this thesis adds to the growing number of studies of early modern genres such as pamphlets, newspapers, ballads, and chapbooks. The period under discussion was one of significant change in terms of political and social circumstances and this thesis demonstrates that dialogue was sensitive to these political events. By situating the dialogue within the broader print landscape of seventeenth-century England the thesis maps how dialogue adapted to changing circumstances with pamphlet dialogues, periodical dialogues, and dialogues of the dead, in particular emerging in response to social and political events. Looking at the dialogue in the context of other literary forms this thesis argues that the appeal of dialogue was its flexibility and ability to educate a broad range of people across all demographics of seventeenth-century England.
