About this book
Reviews
'By exploring the confluences between fairy tale motifs and historical records related to queens and royal female consorts, Carney establishes unexpected and enlightening resonances between two cultural spheres, one literary, the other historical. Her contribution to queenship studies offers a unique lens through which to view the historical realities of European queens, from their pregnancy wishes and fears to their obligation to provide a royal heir, from their treatment by male monarchs to their various forms of self-representation. At the same time, this book makes a convincing case for the queen as a central figure, even a hallmark, of the fairy tale genre.' Marguerite A. Tassi, Martin Distinguished Professor in English, University of Nebraska at Kearney, USA
