Abstract
The seduction and charm of tales are linked to their ability to metamorphose over time by adopting all types of scenographies, genres and supports while reinvesting new meanings and varying or mixing the recipients. It is this strong metamorphic power that the present volume questions from a character who embodies these latent virtualities better than any other: the Sleeping Beauty with unfathomable dreams.The approach adopted is motivated by the nature of the dialogue which takes place between two literary productions themselves rich in intertextual resonances, separated by two centuries and anchored in two different countries and cultures: “Sleeping Beauty” by Charles Perrault and “Dornröschen” by the Brothers Grimm. This problematic relationship serves as an anchor for the various rewritings to which these two tales, in turn isolated or crossed, give rise in the fields of text and image until the contemporary era.
