An Important Message From Our Sponsors ...

I've been fairly quiet about the melding of my private life and my professional life on this journal thus far, just because ... well, I have, but I have an announcent.  Earlier this summer, erzebet  and I started an on-line journal for fairy tale retellings and revisions, the Cabinet des Fées, with erzebet  handling the fiction and me handling the non-fiction: a very exciting project, to be sure.  The first issue recieved decent reviews, and a month or so ago we were contacted by a small press which wanted to take us print.  Not wanting to jump the gun, for once I managed to refrain from oversharing ... but it's really happening.  So, f-list, should any of you have fairy-tale related materials that you want to share with the world ....

Call For Papers - Cabinet des Fées

Cabinet des Fées is a journal of fairy tale retellings, previously purely an on-line journal, now going print under the imprimature of Prime Books, with both literary and academic components.  Cabinet des Fées is seeking submissions of fairy tales, fairy tale related art, and fairy tale related articles for our second issue, scheduled for publication in Spring 2006. Stories may be old tales in new skins or new tales in old skins; whichever they are, they must be fairy tales. We prefer art that has been inspired by any of the classic or literary tales, conforming to the style of traditional fairy tale illustration. Finally, this leaves us with the matter of describing what a fairy tale is … and the search for scholarly explorations of the landscape of the fairy tale.

           

We are actively seeking academic papers relating to the history and development of the fairy tale, as well as those focusing on revisionist retellings themselves.  Potential topics might include:

 

• Exploration of any of the “original” literary fairy tale collections as exemplars of their times.
• Examinations of techniques commonly employed in retellings – reversals of hero and villain, changes in perspective or setting,  subversions of traditional endings.
• Analysis of the works of individual authors of fairy tale retellings, such as Angela Carter, Emma Donoghue, or Tanith Lee.

All manuscript submissions, including explanatory notes and the list of Works Cited, should be double-spaced in a size 12 font.  Neither embedded footnotes nor generated footnotes should be used. Documentation should follow the MLA Style Manual (1999) with parenthetical citations in the text and a Works Cited list at the end. Only explanatory endnotes are needed.

Reviews of queries, proposals, and papers will begin immediately: please send papers as attachments to:  submissions@cabinet-des-fees.com

Deadline: January 15th.
