''The Bloody Chamber'' (or ''The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories'') is a collection of short fiction by Angela Carter. It was first published in the United Kingdom in 1979 by Gollancz〔.〕 and won the Cheltenham Festival Literary Prize. All of the stories share a common theme of being closely based upon fairytales or folk tales. However, Angela Carter has stated: The anthology contains ten stories: "The Bloody Chamber", "The Courtship of Mr Lyon", "The Tiger's Bride", "Puss-in-Boots", "The Erl-King", "The Snow Child", "The Lady of the House of Love", "The Werewolf", "The Company of Wolves" and "Wolf-Alice". The tales vary greatly in length, with the novelette "The Bloody Chamber" being "more than twice the length of any of the other stories, and more than thirty times the length of the shortest (vignette "The Snow Child" )."〔.〕 The anthology's contents are also reprinted in Carter's ''Burning Your Boats''. ==Story summaries== The stories within "The Bloody Chamber" are explicitly based on fairy tales. Carter was no doubt inspired by the works of author and fairytale collector Charles Perrault, whose fairy tales she had translated shortly beforehand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bloody Chamber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
