TY - JOUR TI - Cinderella’s Metamorphoses: A Comparative Study of Two English Translations of Perrault’s Tales AU - Dutheil de la Rochère, Martine Hennard TI - Cinderella’s Metamorphoses: A Comparative Study of Two English Translations of Perrault’s Tales AB - This comparative analysis of two translations of Charles Perrault’s “Cendrillon ou la petite pantoufl e de verre” shows how the French conte was adapted for children in England at different moments and refl ects different projects. Robert Samber’s “Cinderilla: or, The Little Glass Slipper,” published in Histories, or Tales of Past Times. With Morals (1729), is known as the fi rst English translation of the tale. More recently, Angela Carter’s retranslation “Cinderella: or, The Little Glass Slipper,” published in The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault (1977), pays homage to Samber but also modernises the tale to carry a more emancipatory message. While Samber’s translation refl ects the working conditions of Grub Street writers and acculturation of Perrault’s fairy tale in Protestant England, Carter gives it a feminist twist as she turns it into a “fable of the politics of experience.” She would later rewrite it as “Ashputtle or The Mother’s Ghost” (1987), this time using Manheim’s English translation of the Grimms’ “Aschenputtel” as a starting point.
