Recycling Red Riding Hood
by Sandra L. Beckett
- 1 Want to read
"In Recycling Red Riding Hood, Sandra L. Beckett explores the contemporary retellings of the world's best-known fairy tale, drawing upon close readings of texts in at least a dozen languages - many of which have never been translated into English. Beckett finds a fascinating interplay of tradition and innovation in these retold fairy tales - which are so varied as to fit almost every generic category and suit almost every literary taste and age group - and analyzes the ways in which authors and illustrators transfigure traditional motifs in order to convey new messages, reach new audiences, and reflect new cultural contexts. Including over sixty illustrations from retellings around the globe, Recycling Red Riding Hood provides a fascinating journey for students, scholars, and all who cherish this universal tale."--Jacket.
