From Court to Forest is a critical and historical study of the beginnings of the modern literary fairy tale. Giambattista Basiles Lo cunto de li cunti, written in Neapolitan dialect and published in 163436, comprises fifty fairy tales and was the first integral collection of literary fairy tales to appear in Western Europe. It contains some of the best known fairytales types, such as Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and others, many in their earliest versions. Although it became a central reference point for subsequent fairytale writers, such as Perrault and the Grimms, as well as a treasure chest for folklorists, Lo cunto de li cunti has had relatively little attention devoted to it by literary scholars.This work fills a gap in fairytale and Italian literary studies through its rediscovery of one of the most important authors of the Italian Baroque and the genre of the literary fairy tale.
