Gretchen Schultz and Lewis Seifert are professors of French studies at Brown University.
“In these deliberately tarnished tales … wondrousness mainly shines
through in their often beautiful imagery.”—Michael Dirda,
Washington Post
“This is a wonderful resource for scholars of fairy tales and
decadent literature and a timely, thought-provoking collection for
nonspecialists.”—Choice
“Besides being a thoroughly engaging read, Fairy Tales for the
Disillusioned is an extraordinary contribution to the fairy-tale
canon…. Schultz and Seifert have managed to recover a little bit of
the magic so necessary for modern life.”—Victoria Leslie, Gramarye
Journal
“Sometimes sardonic, sometimes brutal, often blackly funny and
possessed of a peculiarly modern sensibility.”—Cameron Woodhead,
Sydney Morning Herald
