Abstract

Abstract:In the early decades of the nineteenth century, literary fairy tales inspired by French contes de fées dominated the scene in the German states. Three retellings of Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy’s “The Bee and the Orange Tree” by German women were published: “The Giant’s Forest” (anonymous 1801); “The Okerlo” (1812), collected from Jeannette Hassenpflug by the Grimms; and “The Bitter Orange Tree and the Bee” by Karoline Stahl. Though romance is central to d’Aulnoy’s tale, the German variants reduce this element and focus instead on d’Aulnoy’s depiction of navigating the patriarchy and avoiding the monstrous desires of men with tools of feminine cleverness, magic, and help.

在德国女性的《蜜蜂和橘子树》变体中导航父权制

摘要:19世纪前几十年，受法国伯爵启发的文学童话在德国各州占据主导地位。德国女性对玛丽-凯瑟琳·德奥尔诺瓦的《蜜蜂和橘子树》进行了三次重述:《巨人的森林》(1801年匿名);《奥克罗》(The Okerlo, 1812)，格林夫妇从珍妮特·哈森弗拉格(Jeannette Hassenpflug)那里收集;以及卡罗琳·斯塔尔的《苦橙树和蜜蜂》。虽然浪漫是达奥尔诺伊故事的核心，但德国版本减少了这一元素，转而关注于达奥尔诺伊对父权制的描述，并利用女性的聪明才智、魔法和帮助来避免男人的可怕欲望。

期刊介绍： Marvels & Tales (ISSN: 1521-4281) was founded in 1987 by Jacques Barchilon at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally known as Merveilles & contes, the journal expressed its role as an international forum for folktale and fairy-tale scholarship through its various aliases: Wunder & Märchen, Maravillas & Cuentos, Meraviglie & Racconti, and Marvels & Tales. In 1997, the journal moved to Wayne State University Press and took the definitive title Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies. From the start, Marvels & Tales has served as a central forum for the multidisciplinary study of fairy tales. In its pages, contributors from around the globe have published studies, texts, and translations of fairy-tales from Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. The Editorial Policy of Marvels & Tales encourages scholarship that introduces new areas of fairy-tale scholarship, as well as research that considers the traditional fairy-tale canon from new perspectives. The journal''s special issues have been particularly popular and have focused on topics such as "Beauty and the Beast," "The Romantic Tale," "Charles Perrault," "Marriage Tests and Marriage Quest in African Oral Literature," "The Italian Tale," and "Angela Carter and the Literary Märchen." Marvels & Tales is published every April and October by Wayne State University Press.
