Description

Uncanny Fairy Tales explores how writers have reimagined familiar fairy tales in unsettling and creative ways to express entirely new meanings. This Routledge study applies a reformulated concept of Freud's uncanny theory through a cognitive framework, offering fresh critical perspectives on experimental literary fairy tales. Focusing on English-language literature, the work traces how complex and disturbing reinterpretations of fairy-tale discourse emerged during the Victorian Age and beyond, examining how authors manipulate traditional narratives to provoke surprise, destabilise expectations, and even shock readers. The book provides essential theoretical grounding for understanding how contemporary and historical writers have transformed the fairy tale genre into a vehicle for psychological exploration, philosophical inquiry, and literary innovation.
