Les Belles au bois dormant – Charlotte Trinquet du Lys (University of Central Florida) and Rori Bloom (UF)
November 13, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Taking inspiration from Charles Perrault’s late seventeenth-century fairy tale, “La Belle au Bois dormant,” Drs. Trinquet and Bloom will explore several versions of the “Sleeping Beauty” story, including Italian sources and French variations on the theme. Their aim is to treat a familiar, classic text in order to explore its literary and cultural complexity. This presentation will be in French, with discussion to follow in both French and English.
This event is free and open to the public.
