 KONOPISKÁ, Helena
This thesis focuses on heroines of Robin McKinley's fairy tale revisions. The introduction concerns fairy tale retellings as a genre and Robin McKinley as an author. The rest of the thesis is divided into two main parts. In the first, McKinley's retellings of "Beauty and the Beast", Beauty and Rose Daughter, are introduced. Second part of the thesis revolves around a fairy tale "Donkeyskin" that McKinley retold in her novel Deerskin. The heroines of McKinley's novels are compared with their respective counterparts from the classical versions of the fairy tale. The issue of their character traits and their agency is explored.
