Description

Explore the unsettling world of experimental literature with Uncanny Fairy Tales: Hybrid Wonders in the Mirror. This academic work examines fairy tales that surprise, destabilize, or shock readers by manipulating familiar stories to express new meanings. By using a reformulation of Freud's concept of the uncanny, this book offers a fresh way to look at how these stories function. Through a cognitive outlook, the theoretical framework provides new perspectives on the study of experimental literary fairy tales. The analysis traces the history of these complex reinterpretations, noting that unsettling shifts in fairy-tale discourse began to emerge during the Victorian Age and continued through the Modernist period. This book is an essential resource for those studying English-language literature and the evolution of myth and storytelling.
