From my experience researching early fairy-tale culture, d’Aulnoy’s reception has evolved significantly. I have seen her move from marginal curiosity to central figure in feminist and genre studies. I would recommend consulting reception history and gender-focused scholarship, which shows how her tales shaped narrative sophistication and irony. Her legacy is now understood as foundational rather than decorative within the fairy-tale tradition.
