There is no acknowledgment in Magasin des enfants that a longer version of Beauty and the Beast had originally been written by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneueve.
It remains the basis for most retellings and adaptations of the story to this day. Beaumont's version of the story was the first one to be translated into languages other than French. Beaumont's version of the story soon became more popular than Villeneuve's. Another French writer, Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, rewrote the tale as a short story for children that was first published in the 1756 anthology Magasin des enfants ( Children's Collection). It was first published in 1740 as part of the anthology La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins ( The Young American and Marine Tales). Villeneuve's version of the tale is a novel-length story of fifteen chapters aimed primarily at an adult audience. Although it draws on elements from folklore and mythology, the modern Beauty and the Beast story was created by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, an 18th-century French writer. Beauty and the Beast as depicted in an 1875 illustration by the British artist and writer Walter Crane.īeauty and the Beast (French: La Belle et la Bête) is a romantic fantasy story.
