[edit]

The category "French novels" has been recently added, apparently because someone, seeing that this is a romance, has been reminded of a paperback "Harlequin Romance" with an embossed cover and therefore that it counts as a novel. Thus Perceforest develops a Wikipedia reputation as some kind of bodice-ripper... oh well... --Wetman 07:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be completely rewritten

[edit]

See for example https://muse.jhu.edu/article/523613/summary It's also often as the first known appearance and possible origin of the Sleeping Beauty tale. SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a lot of rewriting, rearranging, and adding of new material and references. But I haven't seen fit to crowbar in some mention of the "Sleeping Beauty" matter. I'm happy to leave that to others, perhaps to be placed in a new subheaded discussion of the various folktales contained in Perceforest. Moreover, although I've removed the revision notice fronting the Plot section, I haven't removed SNAAAAKE!!'s larger rewrite signboard for the whole article. So it's up to her/him, or somebody else, to decide when that can be taken down. Fredwords (talk) 17:25, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
