Adaptations of Folktales and Motifs in Madame d'Aulnoy's Contes : A Brief Survey of Influence and Diffusion

Abstract

Nearly all the stories by Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy (1650–1705) contain identifiable tale types. This is clear upon examining her tales in conjunction with seminal works of classification such as Stith Thompson’s Motif-Index of Folk-Literature, Paul Delarue and Marie-Louise Tenèze’s Conte populaire français, and Hans-Jörg Uther’s Types of International Folktales. The significant presence of tale types in d’Aulnoy’s oeuvre, of which this article offers a brief survey, argues well for the universality of her appeal.
