Come join AF member Kitty Maynard, PhD, specialist of early modern France and teacher at Alliance Française of Richmond, for a lecture titled " Cinderella's Story". “Cinderella’s Story,” on the origins and evolution of a fairytale heroine and cultural icon, with Kitty Maynard, former professor of French at Washington College, director of the Faculty Hub at the University of Richmond, and scholar of early modern France.
Cinderella is arguably the most famous fairy tale of our time, its elements feeling so familiar that they seem to express universal experiences and human values. But while Cinderella might seem timeless, the version of her known to us today has a very specific origin in seventeenth-century France and the political climate of that time. Moreover, she has changed dramatically over the centuries to appeal to new audiences.
This event is organized by Profs & Pints. You will find more information about the lecture on their site, where you can purchase tickets. You can register for the event here.
