Publisher's Synopsis

Si les contes de Perrault suscitent un nombre incalculable d'analyses et de commentaires depuis leur parution, le vêtement y reçoit relativement peu d'attention. Or, des robes de Peau d'Âne, utilisées pour exercer une pression incestueuse, aux têtes couronnées puis décapitées des petites ogresses dans Le Petit Poucet révélant une critique politique acerbe, le thème vestimentaire est loin d'y être anodin. Sans être le dernier travail littéraire de Perrault, le recueil de contes constitue cependant son ouvrage-testament dans lequel l'auteur livre ses messages les plus subversifs et ses constats les plus amers sur les maux de son temps. À travers le vêtement, l'académicien dénonce l'immoralité des possesseurs de pouvoir, le sadisme masculin, les impostures bourgeoises, la cupidité des élites et jusqu'au système politique de son temps. While Perrault's tales have sparked countless analyses and commentaries since their publication, clothing has received relatively little attention therein. Yet, from the dresses of Donkeyskin, used to exert incestuous pressure, to the crowned and decapitated heads of the little ogres in "Hop-o'-My-Thumb," revealing a sharp political critique, the theme of clothing is far from inconsequential. While not Perrault's final literary work, the collection of tales nevertheless serves as his magnum opus, in which the author delivers his most subversive messages and bitter observations about the ills of his time. Through clothing, the academician denounces the immorality of those in power, male sadism, bourgeois deceptions, the greed of the elite, and even the political system of his era.
