Originally published in 1979. Adultery is a dominant feature in
chivalric literature; it becomes a major concern in Shakespeare's
last plays; and it forms the central plot of novels from Anna
Karenina to Couples. Tony Tanner proposes that transgressions of
the marriage contract take on a special significance in the
"bourgeois novels" of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His
interpretation begins with the general topic of adultery in
literature and then zeroes in on three works-Rousseau's La Nouvelle
Heloise, Goethe's Die Wahlverwandtschaften, and Flaubert's Madame
Bovary. His interpretation encompasses the role of women, the
structure of the family, social mores, and the history of
sexuality.
