Tales for Fairies: Tracing Queer Fairy Tale Retellings

Alba Morollón Díaz-Faes explores the evolution of queer reinterpretations of the fairy tale across three transformative decades: the first wave of fairy-tale publications for a predominantly gay male readership in the 1990s; a second wave in the 2000s that navigated queer politics through nuanced tales of monstrosity and heroism; and a third wave in the 2010s of online queer communities who challenged and reimagined Disney’s fairy tales.
