520    Recent decades have witnessed a renaissance of interest in
       the fairy tale, not least among writers of fiction. In 
       this work the editor argues that fairy tales are one of 
       the key influences on fiction of the past thirty years and
       also continue to shape literary trends in the present. 
       Contributors detail the use of fairy tales both as 
       inspiration and blueprint and explore the results of 
       juxtaposing fairy tales and contemporary fiction. At the 
       heart of this collection, seven leading scholars focus on 
       authors whose work is heavily informed and transformed by 
       fairy tales: Robert Coover, A.S. Byatt, Margaret Atwood, 
       Angela Carter, and Salman Rushdie. In addition to 
       investigating the work of this so called fairy tale 
       generation, this book provides a survey of the body of 
       theoretical writing surrounding these authors, both from 
       within literary studies and from fairy tale studies 
       itself. Contributors present an overview of critical 
       positions, considered here in relation to the work of 
       Jeanette Winterson and of Nalo Hopkinson, suggesting 
       further avenues for research. This work also offers the 
       first detailed and comprehensive account of the key 
       authors working in this emerging genre. Students and 
       teachers of fiction, folklore, and fairytale studies will 
       appreciate this insightful volume.
