Reconstruction of Fairytale Canon in A. S. Byatt's Short-Genre Fiction

More about the book

The essay explores how A. Bayette's novels draw heavily from traditional fairytale discourse, shaping their plots, structure, and stylistic elements. It highlights the use of archetypes as fundamental components of fairytales, presenting a series of binary oppositions such as sleep vs. waking and captivity vs. liberation. These oppositions are integral to the folklore narrative, underscoring the deeper themes of destruction and restoration, as well as the tension between prohibition and its violation within the texts.
