	Marina Warner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marina Warner (born 21st November 1946) is a British writer, known as a novelist and short story writer, and also for many non-fiction books relating in various ways to feminism and myth.
		Her first book was the controversial Alone of All Her Sex: The Myth and the Cult of the Virgin Mary, which was a devastating critique of Catholic adoration of the Virgin Mary, which Warner savaged as both anti-Christian and anti-feminist.
		It was followed by Monuments and Maidens: the allegory of the female form and Joan of Arc: the image of female heroism.

		Warner's approach to the complex literary, artistic, and psychological phenomenon of metamorphosis is, naturally, grounded in Ovid's poem, with which she begins and ends.
		Warner says at the end of her Introduction that for this published version she had "to strip away many images, and repress some of the profusion" (28); nonetheless, some readers may find her canvas too "busy" for sustained contemplation of her vision of metamorphosis.
		Warner argues that Merian's depiction of "continuity within formal change" is symptomatic of the dissolution of "the settled idea of development as an unfolding of personality" (83).

		Warner spends the first half of her book focused on the tellers of fairy tales, including the pagan seer Sibyl of Cumae, Saint Anne, the Queen of Sheba, Mother Goose, and novelist Angela Carter.
		Warner's focus is the importance of female voice, as the virtue of silence is put in opposition to the seductiveness of women's tongues.
		Warner has done an incredible amount of research for this book, and her love for the tales shines through in her analysis.

		Warner tries to analyze the motives of women seen in fairy tales: the good mothers, the good mothers-in-law, the godmothers and the bad mothers (whose badness can be excused).
		As Warner explains, Eve sinned by mouth; she bit into the apple; she spoke to the serpent; she was in consequence cursed.
		Warner makes several interesting points, as when she explains that the stork was originally favored by Greek goddesses.

	No Go The Bogeyman: Scaring, Lulling and Making Mock by Marina Warner - Reviewed by Ann Skea - Eclectica Magazine v3n2
		Marina Warner has researched her material thoroughly and she presents an erudite and interesting picture of the horrors with which we entertain, frighten and (so she suggests) protect ourselves and our children.
		The purpose of nursery horrors, Warner suggests, may be fear, frustration, the development of a child's language skills, play, child-control or a combination of these and many other factors.
		I particularly enjoyed the chapter on Odysseus and his encounter with Scylla; and Warner's 'Reflection' on "The Nymphaeum of the Emperor Tiberius," in which she describes huge ancient sculptures of Scylla and Polyphemos which have recently been restored from the fragments left by iconoclastic monks who smashed them in AD 511.

	From the Beast to the Blonde by Marina Warner - Reviewed by Ann Skea - Eclectica Magazine v4n3
		Not only does it require concentration to follow Warner through the fascinating and labyrinthine history of fairy tales and their tellers, but the book itself is so heavy that simply holding it up to read it becomes a test of strength and endurance.
		Warner deals mostly, in this book, with the female role in preserving and transmitting fairy tales and with the role of women within the tales themselves.
		Not all the progressions are as straightforward as this and some of the links Warner makes as she traces the history of fairy tales are surprising, but she is scrupulous in documenting and illustrating all her points.

	From the Beast to the Blonde: On Fairy Tales and Their Tellers:Warner, Marina:0374524874:eCampus.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Marina Warner looks at storytelling, at its practitioners and images in art, legend, and history - from the prophesying enchantresses who lure men to a false paradise to jolly Mother Goose, with her masqueraders in the real world, from sibyls and the Queen of Sheba to Angela Carter.
		Warner's fresh new interpretations show us how the real-life themes in these famous stories evolved: rivalry and hatred between women ("Cinderella" and "The Sleeping Beauty"), the ways of men and marriage ("Bluebeard" and "Beauty and the Beast"), not to mention neglect, incest, death in childbirth, murder, and racial prejudice.
		As she suggests in her superb closing chapter, happy endings come only after stumbles and falls; yet in some sense the story of tale-telling is never done.

		In her erudite 15-page introduction, novelist and critic Warner (From the Beast to the Blonde: On Fairy Tales and Their Tellers) details how the literary form was invented by French aristocrats during the reign of Louis XIV.
		These six 17th-century French wonder or fairy tales, as editor Warner (From the Beast to the Blonde, LJ 10/1/95) explains in her introduction, fulfilled a need for relief from the social constraints and religious revivalism that prevailed during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King.
		Warner's book is also significant in that, in addition to the three tales that overlap with Zipes, it contains some genuine rarities in the genre.

		Warner claims that, despite the power of the figure of Mary, her irreproachability has left real women disenfranchised.
		Warner explores the ideas behind Medea and Thelma and Louise, myths of cannibalism, and the politics of rape.
		Inspired by Shakepeare's play The Tempest, Warner refashions the drama into a powerful, sensual tale of one family and one island bound to their shared past.

		Marina Warner's From the Beast to the Blonde was a fascinating feminist meditation on fairy stories and the men and women who tell them; it was both scholarly and a work of creation which changed the way we read.
		Fear of the dark is important here--the darkness has always been where adult terrors lurked as well, and Warner is good on the fear of the peasant pagan "other" that underlies many tales.
		Travelling from ogres to cradle songs, from bananas to cannibals, Warner traces the roots of our commonest anxieties, unravelling the myths and fears which define human sensibilities.

		Marina Warner uses her superb historical and literary skills to move beyond conventional biography and to capture the essence of Joan of Arc, both as she lived in her own time and as she has "grown" in the human imagination over the five centuries since her death.
		She has examined the court documents from Joan of Arc's 1431 Inquisition trial for heresy and woven the facts together with an analysis of the histories, biographies, plays, and paintings and sculptures that have appeared over time to honor this heroine and symbol of France's nationhood.
		Warner shows how the few facts that are known about the woman Joan have been shaped to suit the aims of those who have chosen her as their hero.
