 Bluebeard
   At the moment, much of my research is devoted to this classic European folktale about a serial
   wife-murderer, as well as to literary revisions of the tale and its variants written by some of the
   best feminist writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
 
   Learn about Perrault's version and about variants in English, German, and Italian folklore.
 
   Take a tour of  Bluebeard's Gallery: a series of images culled from nineteenth- and 
   twentieth-century illustrated editions of this grisly tale for children.
 
   Find out about feminist revisions of the tale.
 
   Check out some interesting and informative links to sites about "Bluebeard," about folklore,
   and about feminist revisions of this and other fairy tales.
