This book is an extremely incisive dissection of Flaubert,
By A Customer
This review is from: Madame Bovary: The End of Romance (Twayne's Masterworks Studies) (Hardcover)
For anyone who has ever read "Madame Bovary" (arrogant literature professors included), this book is a must buy. Simply put, "The End of Romance" is the master analyzing "The Master". Writing with a remarkably clear and economical prosaic style, Mr. Gans shows exactly why most consider Flaubert's masterpiece to be the greatest novel of the French language. Not only does he give a short biography of the author, and analyse the novel's plot and main characters, but most importantly, he presents a thorogh discussion on the originality of the work (see chapter on the "comices agricoles")!
