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.
