Untitled

[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

I’m a little new to this, please correct me if wrong, but I’m pretty sure Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Britannia’s starts out with Brutus as the first king, and Cadwallader as the last. I bring this up because Perceforest is, in the article stated to have drawn inspiration from the above and others, and this Greco-Roman influence is made even more apparent by the fact that in many stories, they seem to draw from classical Greek myth. For example, in Troylus and Zellandine, the goddesses Lucina, Themis and Venus are mentioned. Like many stories of the western canon. So, could I perhaps make a few changes, if this information is all correct? Reylicinthelette (talk) 19:06, 15 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
