Abstract
-
en_US
This is perhaps the sixth book I have found presenting the Labyrinthe at Versailles. I continue to be fascinated and somewhat confused by the subject. My confusion here arises from a book I just catalogued: Contes et Fables: Texte Integral, a contemporary work including what seem to be Perrault's labyrinth fables. Each of these includes a prose summary and a verse moral, which is almost always amatory in character. Now I go back to this facsimile of Perrault's 1677 work and find the prose summaries, separate from the illustrations, but I find none of the verse morals about love. There is a verse moral with each fable here, but it seems different and not focussed particularly on love. In the early part of this book, the prose rendition of each fable is followed by a description of the fountain scene presented in the Labyrinth. The rendering of LeClerc's plates is adequate. The Labyrinth, the back cover tells us, was destroyed in 1774. The postface by Michel Conan includes nine illustrations, listed just after the postface.
