by Catulle Mendes (Author), Brian Stableford (Adapted by)
Catulle Mendès (1841-1909) wrote more tales featuring fays than any other French writer--nearly twice as many as Madame d'Aulnoy. However, by the 1880s, the genre had been largely misremembered and remained unread for a hundred years. It is, therefore, unsurprising that Mendès elected to draw his own imaginative raw materials from Shakespeare rather from than any original French sources.
Even though his tales feature a different species of fays, Mendès' 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.
This volume provides a useful illustration of a significant, if eccentric, phase in the history of the genre.
