Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
This collection of short stories retells fairy tales and myths to bring out themes of feminism, heroism, and forgotten voices. The critical introduction is an investigation into the history of fairy tale retellings, and how we can best write works that engage in a conversation with other stories. This intro also argues for a return to the oral tradition, which is how these original fairy tales and myths were told, in order to evoke the spontaneity of oral performance. This project is interested in story-telling, from our childhood to adulthood, as I create a new canon of fairy tales for grown-ups.
