Madame Bovary on Trial
Year: 2018
Type: book
Abstract: In 1857, following the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert was charged with having committed an ?outrage to public morality and religion.? Dominick LaCapra, an intellectual historian with wide-ranging literary interests, here examines this remarkable trial. LaCapra draws on material from Flaubert?s correspondence, the work of literary critics, and Jean-Paul Sartre?s analysis of Flaubert. LaCapra maintains that Madame Bovary is at the intersection of the traditional and the modern novel, simultaneously invoking conventional expectations and subverting them.
