Flaubert's First Novel

A study of the 1845 Éducation sentimentale

Beschreibung

L'Éducation sentimentale, begun in 1843 and finished after two substantial interruptions in 1845, was Flaubert's first attempt at a full-scale novel. Though overshadowed by the 1869 novel of the same title, it is a crucially important text in Flaubert's literary development. Alan Raitt provides a controversial new reading of the book's genesis and development, and addresses many of the misapprehensions that have grown up around this pivotal work.

Rezensionen

«This slim volume, the most important study in English to date of the first 'Éducation sentimentale', is a rich finale to the career of one of our greatest Flaubertians.» (Timothy Unwin, Modern Language Review)
