Seeing Through the Mother Goose Tales Visual Turns in the Writings of Charles Perrault

We are finally given the extraordinarily complex workings of stories that for almost 300 years have been relegated to the domain of 'children's' literature."Mitchell Greenberg, Miami University "A powerful new vision of 17th-century literary and intellectual history. . . . Lewis has very much changed the way we will teach these tales and French classicism in general."John D.
