Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

3.6/5 ( ratings)

This novel achieved immediate notoriety through its questioning of marriage, sex and the role of women.

He explains how Madame Bovary represents Flaubert's intense personal engagement with the tragedy of bourgeois culture, while at the same time exemplifying the author's commitment to the impersonality of art and the transcendence of style.
