Present in the collective imaginary, Perrault's Contes lend their prestige to popular tradition in apologetic tales as charming as they are cruel, in the image of universal humanity. This edition highlights the traditions that Perrault draws from, as well as the anchoring of the tales in the France of Louis XIV.

About the Authors

Charles Perrault (1628-1703) contr�leur g�n�ral des B�timents, acad�micien, auteur de po�mes, d'�pop�es, de pi�ces, de m�moires, doit pourtant la post�rit� � ses Histoires ou Contes du temps pass� (1697), o� l'on trouve le conte de La Belle au bois dormant. Ce conte traditionnel, dont on conna�t d'autres versions �crites (dans Le conte des contes de Basile ant�rieurement, puis chez les fr�res Grimm) n'a pas cess� d'intriguer.

Gilbert Rouger a publi� diff�rents ouvrages consacr�s � la po�sie. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs publications sur la versification fran�aise ainsi que d'anthologies po�tiques, dont "Mathurin R�gnier, Th�ophile de Viau, Saint-Amant, po�sies choisie"s. Nous lui devons �galement l'�dition scientifique d'oeuvres en prose de R�tif de la Bretonne et de G�rard de Nerval.
