Abstract

Hybrid and magical beings, fairies, present in many popular narratives in the seventeenth century, amid serious economic and political crises in European national states, became characters both for Charles Perrault (1628-1703), one of the most influential men of the reign of Louis XIV, and Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), exiled during the English Revolution. Counselors of the king or his opponents, the fairies also seem to make mysterious appearances in Rembrandt's painting, and magically transfigure Politics.
