	Charles Perrault
		Perrault's most famous stories are still in print today and have been made into operas, plays, films and animated motion pictures.
		Perrault's tales were mostly adapted from earlier folk tales from stylish literary salons in the 1690s, as a recreation from the more strenuous energy expended in the Battle of the Ancients and Moderns or the struggles of Jansenism.
		Some of the droll fun of Perrault is in the mock-heroic contrast between the folktale context and fashionable life.

		Charles Perrault (1628-1703) was a member of the Académie Française and a leading intellectual of his time.
		Perrault could have not predicted that his reputation for future generations would rest almost entirely on a slender book published in 1697 containing eight simple stories with the unassuming title: Stories or Tales from Times Past, with Morals, with the added title in the frontispiece, Tales of Mother Goose.
		Charles Perrault, in a symbolically significant gesture, did not publish the book in question under his own name but rather under the name of his son Pierre.

	Perrault Biography (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the class of Philosophy, he was deeply interested, wrangling with his teacher, and maintaining, characteristically, that his arguments were better than the stock themes "because they were new." He and a friend soon contrived a course of study for themselves, reading together as chance or taste directed.
		Perrault and his friends wakened the learned doctors in the night, returned ridiculous answers to their questions, chinked their money in their bags,--and passed.
		In 1691, Perrault published anonymously his earliest attempt at storytelling, "La Marquise de Salusses, ou la Patience e Griselidis," the first of his many renditions of traditional fairy tales, which would enter into the classical literature of France, achieving popularity with both aristocratic and non-aristocratic audiences.

	Charles Perrault: Fairy Tale Morals and Men - Associated Content
		Perrault makes a wise decision in the story to constantly remind us that this male character is weak and does nothing for himself.
		Yet, at the end of this story, Perrault delivers us two morals, both of which detract from the cleverness and successfulness of the cat.
		I argue that because of Perrault's moral to the story, we are pushed to view him as a uniquely weak character rather than a sub-character to that of the cat.

	Charles Perrault
		Né à Paris en 1628, fils d'un parlementaire parisien, membre d'une puissante famille de la bourgeoisie d'offices, imprégnée d'ailleurs de jansénisme, Charles Perrault est le dernier d'une famille de quatre frères, qui se distinguèrent tous sous le règne de Louis XIV.
		En fait, ce procédé qui, inauguré par Perrault et repris après lui aux siècles suivants, répond à une visée idéologique: la langue des contes est alors considérée comme la langue des nourrices, et donc, métaphoriquement, comme la langue maternelle de la France.
		Issus du folklore populaire français pour la plupart, les contes adaptés littérairement par Perrault n'appartiennent aucunement, en réalité, à la littérature enfantine, mais à une littérature orale, mouvante, destinée aux adultes des communautés villageoises, faits pour être lus le soir, à la veillée.
