The methodology of the analysis is based on mythological studies (K. Levi-Strauss, J. Frazer, A. N. Veselovsky, A. F. Losev) and genre studies (M. M. Bakhtin, S. S. Averintsev, E. M.

Abstract:

In July 1806 William Hayley suggested that Mary Tighe publish an illustrated edition of Psyche; or, The Legend of Love, using engravings of George Romney's Cupid and Psyche cartoons. Tighe declined, as she did all recommendations that she publish an edition of Psyche. Although she usually cited modesty as her rationale for not publishing, in this instance she pointed to the unsuitability of Romney's illustrations for her narrative. The Romney cartoons closely adhered to Apuleius's narrative of the Cupid and Psyche legend, and were sketched in 1777 to illustrate Hayley's subsequently unfinished

Abstract:

In the tale-within-tale ‘Cupid and Psyche’ narrated in Apuleius’ Metamorphoses, the female heroine Psyche goes through a series of wanderings and tasks as punishments for seeing her husband Cupid's real form out of curiosity. Psyche's curiosity connects this internal tale with the external narratives in Metamorphoses, the protagonist of which, Lucius, shares a similar curiosity that leads to his downfall. While scholars attribute favourable qualities to Lucius’ curiosity despite its negative consequences, they deny the same value to Psyche's curiosity. In this paper, I argue against the condem

Abstract:

This paper traces the literary genealogy of the Tale of Cupid and Psyche from Apuleius to Disney, with a primary focus on the role that Basile’s Pentamerone played in this transmission. Through an analysis of different versions of fairytales, this paper discusses the literary relationship between Apuleius and Basile, which became a major part of the Western fairytale canon due to Basile’s influence on the tales of Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. The common motifs of these various accounts point towards the influence that the folktale nature of myth had on the later fairytale genre.

A dragon lives in a golden, jeweled castle, almost impossible of access. It is surrounded by and infested by lesser serpents.

Abstract:

The loves of Psyche and Cupid by La Fontaine is a romance of mixed genres, combining the features of a tale, a narrative poem and a philosophical dialogue. The author of this study classifies it as a prosimetrum, to focus her analysis, on the one hand – upon the interrelation between prose and verse, functions and means of introducing rhyming parts, etc., on the other hand – examining metatextual texts of the narrator who provokes interesting aesthetic reflection.

Abstract:

This work will discuss the eponymous tale of „Cupid and Psyche”, originally written as a part of Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis’ „Metamorphoses”. The tale’s main thread, the motif of Psyche making an effort to reclaim Cupid’s lost affection, is depicted through the means of mysteriosophic context of Apuleius’ philosophy, as well as his theory on love. The work will draw upon the characteristic motifs of the ancient sacred mysteries, thus suggesting that the story of Psyche’s trials and tribulations is somewhat an allegory of the spiritual development of man, who searches for love to find the me

Abstract:

Abstract Cupid and Psyche, made accessible to Germans by Rode’s translation of 1789, was received as a fairy tale (the Brothers Grimm), while its presumed ‘Greek’ origin was studied by Classicists (Herder, Moritz). Both poetry and prose treatments combined the heroine’s romantic characteristics with Platonist views in a fairy-tale veneer. Romantic epics focus on Psyche’s sensitive experience; Anacreontics (Gleim, Jacobi) idealized Psyche as their poetic muse and idealized beloved. Psyche becomes the incarnation of the ‘beautiful soul’ (Goethe). The tale of Cupid and Psyche particularly influen

Abstract The famous fairy-tale-style version of the ‘Cupid and Psyche’ story in Walter Pater’s Marius the Epicurean (1885), closely examined here, was not only a major motivation for the 1890s fairy stories of Oscar Wilde, but also an influence on the ‘Dutch Oscar Wilde’, the major novelist Louis Couperus, who in 1898 wrote a full and interestingly fantastic version of the ‘Cupid and Psyche’ story entitled Psyche. C&P is thus central to British Decadence, and leaves further traces in continental Decadence in the work of J. K. Huysmans and Gabriele D’Annunzio. Another British strand in this

Winkler has argued that the title conventionally given to Apuleius, Metamorphoses, 4. 28-6. 24 ‘is fundamentally abu sive to the narrative technique of the tale’, which is (in part at all events) a detective story in which the identity of Psyche’s husband is not revealed explicitly until she takes the lamp to him.

Abstract This chapter looks at William Morris’s extensive treatment (c.2,500 lines) in the quasi-Chaucerian The Earthly Paradise (1868–70), which like other nineteenth-century versions pays due attention to sexual decorum and Christian values, and the long poem Eros and Psyche by Robert Bridges (1885, rev. 1894), influenced by Morris. These significant versions clearly reflect the importance of medievalizing elements in mid-nineteenth-century British culture, closely linked to pre-Raphaelite art.

Abstract The chief feature of the reception of Cupid and Psyche since 1900 has been the diversity of genres of adaptation. New technologies have offered new opportunities: there are some traces in cinema though no full adaptation, while Louis MacNeice wrote a radio play Cupid and Psyche in 1944, which shows many interesting elements of adjusting to the medium. Staged versions have still been popular—for example, sections in The Golden Ass, written for the Globe Theatre in London by Peter Oswald in 2002, and Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses of 2002.
