Summary: Charles Perrault and Nameless Women
Comment: Charles Perrault has written many great fairy tales we all know and love. Though Perrault's brilliance has made him popular in writing, he reinforces an oppressive patriarchal ideology. The story of "bluebeard" which is found in his collection, give women no moral. Perrault creates a man that wants complete control over his wives, and then creates a woman who will follow the old customs of doing everything her husband says. This isn't neccessarily a bad thing, but Perrault gives this woman who is tied down with marriage and the burden of being a housewife no name. She is only referred to as "she" and "her" throughout the fairy tale. Perrault's stories are great for fairy tale lovers, but if you have any feelings towards giving women their own freedom, then this might not be the book for you.

Summary: Excellent source for enthusiasts
Comment: Our oral history of the tales of "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty" have certainly changed! This is an excellent source for anyone hoping to find the roots of the fairy tales which we all know and love today. Perrault's prose is surprisingly terse, which may grate with the modern conception of these tales, but he also holds nothing back. Thankfully, Philip and Simborowski include all of his tales, even the dark and disturbing "Donkeyskin," which has been left out of most translations. I have used this book as pleasure reading, but it really shines when I pull it off the shelf for serious essays and presentations. Philip and Simborowski provide helpful anecdotes on Perrault's life and the stories themselves, rounding out a work as complete as Perrault's original.
