Most of today's familiar fairy tales come from the stories of Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen, but this innovative study encourages us to explore the marvelous tales of authors from the early modern period Giovanni Straparola, Giambattista Basile, Madame Marie-Catherine D'Aulnoy, and others whose works enrich and expand the canon. As author Jo Eldridge Carney shows, the queen is omnipresent in these stories, as much a hallmark of the genre as other familiar characteristics such as the number three, magical objects, and happy endings. That queens occupy such space in early modern tales is not surprising given the profound influence of so many powerful queens in the political landscapes of early modern England and Europe. Carney makes a powerful argument for the historical relevance of fairy tales and, by exploring the dynamic intersection between fictional and actual queens, shows how history and folk literature mutually enrich our understanding of the period.

This is an interdisciplinary anthology of essays, including articles on such actual queen regnants as Mary I and Elizabeth I, and queen consorts such as Anne Boleyn, Anna of Denmark and Henrietta Maria. The collection also deals with a number of literary representations of earlier historical queens such as Cleopatra, semi-historical ones such as Gertrude, Tamora and Lady Macbeth, and such fictional ones as Hermione and the Queen of Cymbeline, all of them Shakespeare characters. This look at Renaissance queens also examines myth and folklore, Romantic or Victorian representations and the depictions of queens like Catherine de Medici of France in 20th-century film.
