DESCRIPTION:Oded Rabinovitch will give a lecture on Wednesday\, February 20
 \, at 6 pm. His talk is entitled “Charles Perrault Before the Fairy Tales:
  Seventeenth-Century Authorship\, Material and Textual.'Today\, Charles Pe
 rrault is widely remembered as the author who gave\ncanonical form to the 
 Tales of Mother Goose\, published in the 1690s. However\,\nsince his son s
 igned their dedication manuscript\, modern scholars have spilled\nmuch ink
  on the question of “who really wrote Perrault’s fairy tales\, the\nfather
  or the son?” This talk demonstrates that this is the wrong question to\na
 sk. For early modern authors\, writing could be a family project\, and thi
 s talk\naddresses two issues central to authors like the Perraults. From t
 he material\naspect\, the talk shows that authors were not simply striving
  for remuneration\nthrough the book market or looking for personal gratifi
 cations. Rather\, writing\ncareers formed part of complex family strategie
 s that intersected with the\n“Court Capitalism” emanating from the French 
 monarchy.  From the textual aspect\, the talk examines\nthe circulation of
  texts and images around the Perraults’ county house outside\nParis. These
  images\, and their role in the family’s strategy\, help to re-think\nthe 
 much-debated role of “salons” in seventeenth-century culture.\n\n Oded Rab
 inovitch is Senior Lecturer\nin the department of history at Tel Aviv Univ
 ersity.
