N THE FOURTEEN YEARS from 1690 to 1703, Marie-Catherine Jumelle de Barneville, Mme d'Aulnoy, wrote ten works that were translated into English by 1721 and came to occupy an important place in the history of French-English prose fiction in the formative years that saw the rise of the modern novel.1 These include three pseudoautobiographical accounts of travel translated as The Lady's Travels into Spain, The Memoirs of the Court of Spain, and The Memoirs of the Court of England; three sentimental, historical romances and a collection of sentimental tales translated as The History of the Earl of Warwick, Hypolitus Earl of Douglas, The Prince of Carency, and The Spanish Novels (actually, tales) ; and finally, three collections of fairy tales, including twenty-four tales and three frame stories, of which all but seven tales appeared in English in four collections: Tales of the Fairies, the last part of Mme d'Aulnoy's Diverting Works, The History of the Tales of the Fairies, and A Collection of Novels and Tales of the Fairies.2
