Anne E. Duggan

This new edition of Anne Duggan’s Salonnières, Furies, and Fairies emphasizes the field-changing impacts of the original, which focused on two of the most prolific seventeenth-century women writers, Madeleine de Scudéry and Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, to demonstrate how women helped create the fairy tale genre, staking their claim as major authors of their day. Using novels, chronicles, and fairy tales, Scudéry and d’Aulnoy responded to and participated in significant social changes in early modern France.
