This collection of twelve original essays explores the politics of tale-telling across the field of English Studies. A programmatic introduction uses the fuzzy boundaries of tales to argue that their indeterminacy and polymorphous quality is responsible for the endless attraction, proliferation, and transgressive potential of the \u2018tale\u2019 as a literary form. The case studies address representative developments in British culture, focussing on the tales\u2019 potential for cultural critique in literature, film, music and other cultural practices. Four sections cover \u2018Shakespeare Retold\u2019, \u2018Victorian Tales\u2019, \u2018Fairy Tales Revisited\u2019, and \u2018Narrating (National\/Cultural) Identity\u2019. Topics include classic fairy tales and their rewritings; melodramatic, Gothic and fantasy fiction and film; writings about the condition of England and negotiations of Irish identity; discourses of Empire in public spectacles; and every-day life represented in popular music. On each of them hangs a tale.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
