Margaret Cohen's careful editorial revision modernizes and renews Flaubert's stylistic masterpiece. In addition, Cohen has added to the Second Edition a new introduction, substantially new annotations, and twenty-one striking images, including photographs and engravings, that inform students' understanding of middle-class life in nineteenth-century provincial France. In Madame Bovary, Flaubert created a cogent counter discourse that exposed and resisted the dominant intellectual and social ideologies of his age. The novel's subversion of conventional moral norms inevitably created controversy and eventually led to Flaubert's prosecution by the French government on charges of offending "public and religious morality." This Norton edition is the only one available that includes the complete manuscript from Flaubert's 1857 trial. "Criticism" includes sixteen studies regarding the novel's central themes, twelve of them new to the Second Edition, including essays by Charles Baudelaire, Henry James, Roland Barthes, Jonathan Culler, and Naomi Schor. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.… (mer)

It seems important with all the news in the world right now about women losing more rights over their own bodies to read Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Madame Bovary is a tale about a woman who reads, thinks too much, loves too much, flaunts conventions, has no agency over her finances, and then ultimately… well, this is a 19th-century novel, so she is not likely to get away with it.

I enjoyed the book, Flaubert’s writing is rich in description, setting, and "if the carriage is a rocking, don’t be a stopping" detail that put the book on many a “don’t read this list” over the years.

I don’t know think there was one character I truly liked. Emma was not a very likable character—she did not care for her husband, or her child, and seems to only care for her own feelings. She falls in love too easily. She is passionate about the wrong things, and she gives little thought to consequences until it is too late. Her husband is clueless. Her lovers are opportunists. Her husband’s mother is unlikeable. But then who doesn’t like reading about bad things happening to unlikeable people? Or maybe I like the is just me who has also been turning into the Depp/Heard trial all this week, or why I read novels by Thomas Hardy, clearly I have a thing for unlikeable characters.

Henry James wrote: “Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgment…. The work is a classic because the thing, such as it is, is ideally done, and because it shows that in such doing eternal beauty may dwell.” (Source: The Novel 100)

Wow. This book rocked my reading world. I'll probably read it again and then comment on it. Amazing book, though; it totally lived up to the hype. ( )

I listened to the audio version this time, rather than reading it again. It was still the story I remember and I felt impatient with Emma for her behavior and attitudes towards Charles. Seems to be a much different reaction this time - one of someone who has been married rather than the young adult I was the first time I read it. It will never be one of my favorites, but the craft that Flaubert took in crafting the language is to be noted. ( )

What a delight to reread this book, especially since my first reading was at age 18. Back then I missed the irony, humor, and deadliness, as well as Flaubert's startlingly modern perspective. Hard to believe this was published prior to the US Civil War. During my first reading I swooned, wept, and raged right along with Madame B. Evidently, at the time the book was published, many bourgeoise housewives did the same. How kind-hearted and compassionate Flaubert is with his flawed characters. The narrator seems like God, sadly meting out consequences for his creations.

966 Madame Bovary Background and Sources Essays in Criticism Gustave Flaubert edited with a substantially new translation by Paul De Man (read 7 Sep 1968) Somewhat to my surprise, I have just finished reading this--it marks my first reading of one of the those famous French novels which were on the Index of Forbidden Books till the Index was abolished in 1966: books such as those by Stendahl, Balzac, and Flaubert. I found Madame Bovary heavy and a tour de force. It tells of a woman in Normandy who sought to fulfill her dreams in adultery, and of her failure and death. The story is not exceptional, but the telling has a power in it unmatched by most of what I've read. A sample of Flaubert (how I wish I knew French!): "As on the return from Vaulyessard, when the quadrilles were running in her head, she was full of a glowing melancholy, of a numb despair. Leon reappeared, taller, handsomer, more charming, more vague. Though separated from her, he had not left her, he was there, and the walls of the house seemed to hold his shadows. . .The river still flowed on and slowly drove its ripples along the slippery banks. They had often walked there listening to the murmur of the waves over the moss-covered pebbles. How bright the sun had been! What happy afternoons they had known, alone, in the shade at the end of the garden!" A masterpiece! ( )
