  Amazon.com: Briar Rose: Books: Robert Coover   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Briar Rose returns him to what may be his most fruitful obsession, the absurd and inescapable demands that Romance makes on our lives.
Robert Coover is one of the pioneering post-modernists that started working in the 60's and shows no signs of stopping...The three main characters of the piece are the princess, known as Rose, the rescuing prince, and the wicked fairy who cast the spell on her.
Briar Rose is the name of the princess in Sleeping Beauty and the name of the Grimm brothers version of the story is Little Briar Rose.

 Anne Sexton | "Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty)" | poetry archive | plagiarist.com
Once a king had a christening for his daughter Briar Rose and because he had only twelve gold plates he asked only twelve fairies to the grand event.
Briar Rose grew to be a goddess and each night the king bit the hem of her gown to keep her safe.
Many princes tried to get through the brambles for they had heard much of Briar Rose but they had not scoured their tongues so they were held by the thorns and thus were crucified.

 Briar Rose by Kim Antieau: Journal of Mythic Arts, Summer 2005, Endicott Studio
Rose shook her head and the nurse was gone.
Rose opened her eyes and started to call to Nurse White, to tell her she did know something.
Rose looked over at her father and saw the fear in his eyes; she was only two but she saw it, and Bobbie was too young to drink beer, maybe thirteen.

Now around the palace a thick hedge of briars began growing, which every year grew higher and higher, till the castle was quite hid from view, so that one could not even see the flag upon the tower.
He went on further, and all was so quiet that he could hear himself breathe, and at last he came tot he tower and opened the door of the little room where slept Briar Rose.
By and by the wedding of the Prince with Briar Rose was celebrated with great splendor, and to the end of their lives they lived happily and contented.

 Interview with Jane Yolen about Briar Rose, and a Review of this Controversial Book
In "Briar Rose," Jane Yolen uses the tale of "Sleeping Beauty" as a point of reference for a haunting Holocaust mystery - within a romance - within a compelling fairy tale - within a novel which will intrigue young as well as adult readers of all ages.
Because "Briar Rose" has, in fact, been so adopted by young adult readers, it has been reissued by Tor in its new Starscape line of Young Adult books, with a brand new cover (in March 2002).
The idea for an adult novel on the subject "Briar Rose," had come to me when I was watching the documentary "Shoah" in which the concentration camp Chelmno was described -- a camp in a castle.

 Jane Yolen, Briar Rose   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Yolen creates a stunning masterpiece, combining the eerie enchantment of "Briar Rose" (also known as "Sleeping Beauty in the Wood") with the terrifying history of the Holocaust.
A box of photos, newspaper clippings and entry forms, along with a man's ring, are the only clues Becca has with which to begin her search -- a search that will take her to Poland and back in time to the dark terror of the Holocaust.
Jane Yolen's Briar Rose speaks with unflinching and brutal honesty.

 Briar Rose
But there went a report through all the land of the beautiful sleeping Briar Rose (for so the king's daughter was called): so that, from time to time, several kings' sons came, and tried to break through the thicket into the palace.
Then he went on still farther, and all was so still that he could hear every breath he drew; till at last he came to the old tower, and opened the door of the little room in which Briar Rose was; and there she lay, fast asleep on a couch by the window.
And then the prince and Briar Rose were married, and the wedding feast was given; and they lived happily together all their lives long.

 ArtMagick Galleries - Burne-Jones: The Legend of the Briar-Rose
The series had always been intended for use as decoration, and subsequent to their exhibition by Agnew & Sons, the Briar Rose series was bought by Alexander Henderson, who later became the 1st Lord Faringdon.
Burne-Jones drew his inspiration for the Briar Rose Series from the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, which had been retold in the eighteenth century by Charles Perrault in his Contes du Temps Passé and by Tennyson in his 1842 poem Day Dream.
He did this through the lazy arabesques of the briars, the abandoned poses of the sleeping figures, the shallow perspective, the intense but modulated colours and the verses inscribed beneath, which were written by William Morris expressly to be read in conjunction with the paintings.

I guess that means the book is either brilliant or such a beautiful car wreck I have to make a U-turn to take a second look.
I only found Briar Rose to be overwritten, empty, and tiresome.
When I first studied creative writing in college, my professor named three men he thought had defined the novel to that point, John Gardner, Robert Coover, John Barth (I would add others, but that's what he said).

 Crescent Blues Book Views | Jane Yolen: Briar Rose
As a bookseller employed by Walden Books, I recently pulled two young adult titles from the shelf for questionable content: Stephen Gould's Jumper and Jane Yolen's Briar Rose, part of a fairy tale series based upon classics.
Jane Yolen's Briar Rose begins with a strange version of the tale of the Sleeping Beauty in the Wood.
Like a rose, this beautiful piece of fiction wears barbs that pinch and pierce (the brutal history of the Holocaust, and Nazi persecution of Jews, gypsies and homosexuals).
