Title: Beauty and the beast : a study of aesthetic survival

Abstract: This study of "Beauty and the Beast" explores some of the story's mythological and folkloric background and then traces the modern tale from its literary shaping in the eighteenth century by three French writers through nineteenth- and twentieth-century recreations in the form of drama, poetry, novel, film, and picturebook. The analysis of variously successful versions defines which elements of the story are crucial to its survival and shows that its resilience lies in a metaphorical strength more flexible than most interpretations suggest.
