However, by the 1880s, the genre had been largely misremembered and remained unread for a hundred years. It is, therefore, unsurprising that Mend s elected to draw his own imaginative raw materials from Shakespeare rather from than any original French sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even though his tales feature a different species of fays, Mend s' belated contributions to the genre have closer affinities with it than he may have suspected. He is a deliberately subversive writer, not only employing the narrative dynamic of his fantasies to insist that amour is far from perfect, but frequently applauding certain aspects of that imperfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume provides a useful illustration of a significant, if eccentric, phase in the history of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catulle Mendes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612278469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612278469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Catulle Mendes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616693285119,"sku":"9781612278469","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62fccadb-0ffa-4bb9-b5e9-999eefbced3d.jpg?v=1703021768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-little-fays-in-the-catulle-mendes-9781612278469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
