Abstract

Drawing upon Flaubert’s fictional works, travel writings, correspondence, and notes on his reading of the Bible and interest in iconography, Rogers traces the presence of a liturgical drama, a mystery play, in a text known as iconic of the realist novel. Showing how Flaubert’s use of religious tales, topoi, and imagery extends beyond his retelling of saints’ lives in the Tentation de Saint Antoine and the Trois contes , this study elucidates the biblical and devotional subcurrent in the story of Emma Bovary. Biblical episodes, religious emblems, and discussions of Catholic dogma link the adulterous heroine to the Virgin Mary, who emerges in the course of this subtle reading as the other heroine of the scandalous story. The 19th-century impulse to censor is embodied within the novel by two characters representing the secular and religious poles. The free-thinking pharmacist Homais and the parish priest concur only on the dangers of reading the Bible. When the novel itself was brought to trial for attacking religion, Flaubert’s prosecutor and defense lawyer overlooked this condemnation of scripture. This study invites readers to pay close attention to the religious texts and traditions discussed and restaged in Madame Bovary to gain a new awareness of the narrow bond between theatre and religion in Flaubert’s provinces.

Abstract

Michel Winock’s biography situates Gustave Flaubert’s life and work in France’s century of great democratic transition. Flaubert did not welcome the egalitarian society predicted by Tocqueville. Wary of the masses, he rejected the universal male suffrage hard won by the Revolution of 1848, and he was exasperated by the nascent socialism that promoted the collective to the detriment of the individual. But above all, he hated the bourgeoisie. Vulgar, ignorant, obsessed with material comforts, impervious to beauty, the French middle class embodied for Flaubert every vice of the democratic age. His loathing became a fixation—and a source of literary inspiration. Flaubert depicts a man whose personality, habits, and thought are a stew of paradoxes. The author of Madame Bovary and Sentimental Education spent his life inseparably bound to solitude and melancholy, yet he enjoyed periodic escapes from his “hole” in Croisset to pursue a variety of pleasures: fervent friendships, society soirées, and a whirlwind of literary and romantic encounters. He prided himself on the impersonality of his writing, but he did not hesitate to use material from his own life in his fiction. Nowhere are Flaubert’s contradictions more evident than in his politics. An enemy of power who held no nostalgia for the monarchy or the church, he was nonetheless hostile to collectivist utopias. Despite declarations of the timelessness and sacredness of Art, Flaubert could not transcend the era he abominated. Rejecting the modern world, he paradoxically became its celebrated chronicler and the most modern writer of his time.

Abstract

Dans le sillage de Flaubert sont nées, dans tous les domaines artistiques, des adaptations et des créations multiples, reflétant la réception contrastée de son oeuvre de par le monde : le cinéma, le théâtre, la musique, l'opéra, la bande dessinée, nous offrent aujourd'hui une très large palette d'intertextes attestant la vitalité d'une oeuvre constamment lue, relue, réécrite, traduite, retraduite, bref, constamment (ré)interprétée, en vertu d'intentions parfois contrastées, méritant une étude attentive, en vertu peut-être aussi de l'inquiétude fondamentale qui traverse l'oeuvre de Flaubert et dont ces postérités sont, chacune à leur manière, les échos entêtants.L'étude de ces "dérivés" flaubertiens révèle aussi bien les procédés d'actualisation de la filiation ainsi revendiquée, que les singulières métamorphoses induites par les lectures de Flaubert en d'autres langues et au sein d'autres cultures. Ce volume rassemble les travaux de chercheurs internationaux, qui, à l'étranger et en France, nous offrent un vaste panorama de ces créations.

Abstract

Comme c'est aimable à vous de m'envoyer ainsi tout ce qui paraît sur mon compte', écrit Flaubert à Jules Duplan lors de la publication en volumes de Madame Bovary. Bien qu'il ait une piètre opinion des journalistes - 'Mon Dieu! sont-ils bêtes! quels ânes !' -, Flaubert demeure curieux, voire préoccupé de ce qu'ils écrivent à son sujet. C'est là un de ses nombreux paradoxes. Lui est-il arrivé, en songeant à sa 'crevaison imminente', de se demander ce que diraient alors de lui ceux qu'il a pris tant de plaisir à vilipender? Sans aucun doute. Cet ouvrage rassemble près d'une centaine d'articles parus au moment de son décès, survenu le 8 mai 1880.
