A Vindication of the Redhead: Tangled Webs of Red Hair from the Grimm Brothers to Kate Morton [Two of Kate Morton’s most popular novels are driven by recurring motifs of a maze and red hair, and how both are intertwined as themes of dangerous subversion of sexual mores. Red-haired men and women proliferate Morton’s Forbidden Garden (2008) and The Clockmaker’s Daughter (2018), often referring to the redheads in fairy tales, in particular, Grimm Brothers’ version of “Rapunzel,” which this chapter explores.

Abstract

[Two of Kate Morton’s most popular novels are driven by recurring motifs of a maze and red hair, and how both are intertwined as themes of dangerous subversion of sexual mores. Red-haired men and women proliferate Morton’s Forbidden Garden (2008) and The Clockmaker’s Daughter (2018), often referring to the redheads in fairy tales, in particular, Grimm Brothers’ version of “Rapunzel,” which this chapter explores. Also discussed (minimally) is Morton’s The House at Riverton (2008).]
