It looks as though a free download can be found here, but I have not tried it: http://bookmoving.com/book/perseus_69504.html A good overview of the myth is here: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/p/perseus.html.

Charles Perrault/Angela Carter Papers
Based our decision to delay submission of your papers on “Bluebeard” and “The Bloody Chamber,” they are now due on October 14th. Remember to include a properly formatted bibliography, and your vocabulary list. You may cite in the text or use footnotes.
A note on your vocabulary lists: (1) Separate them by text, (2) cite your source, which can be the college dictionary you purchased for the course, and (3) indicate the derivation of the word (Latin, Greek, French, etc.)
Unfortunately, it is impossible to delay the reading of the first chapter of Joseph Campbell’s “Myths to Live By,” which we will discuss in class on October 14th. I hope to have that PDF on this site by the weekend.
