Madame de Villeneuve's Original Beauty and the Beast
Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve
Villeneuve was a French author influenced by Madame d'Aulnoy, Charles Perrault and various female intellectuals. La Belle et La B�te was first published in 1740 published in La Jeune Am�ricaine, et Les Contes Marins. Planch� himself was a British dramatist and antiquary, chiefly responsible for introducing historically accurate costume into nineteenth century British theatre. His interest in folklore stemmed from such endeavours - and his passion for the tales as well as mastery of the French language is apparent in this text.
