Sažetak
This thesis explores picturebook adaptations of the popular “Cinderella” fairy tale. Specifically, the main goal of the thesis is to analyse two modern picturebook revisions of the traditional tale – Prince Cinders (1987) by Babette Cole and Seriously, Cinderella Is SO Annoying! (2011) by Trisha Speed Shaskan and Gerald Guerlais – and examine the ways in which they change and adapt the story for modern child audiences. The thesis discusses the status of “Cinderella” within the canon of children’s literature, its changes through history, and modern adaptations. The thesis begins with an overview of the most influential variants of “Cinderella” (four written and one animated), as well as a discussion about its status within children’s literature, and the positive and negative influences of this story and fairy tales in general on child audiences. The following chapter discusses the concept of adaptation and adaptation strategies used in modern revisions of fairy tales. Special focus is on gender reversal and change of perspective as two main adaptation strategies used by both Cole and Speed Shaskan. These two picturebook adaptations are analysed and compared, at the level of story, with traditional versions of “Cinderella”, regarding the changes in settings, characters, plot, and themes, as well as the role of illustrations. The conclusion summarizes the main findings and provides suggestions for future research.
