(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) In "Madame Bovary," his
story of a shallow, deluded, unfaithful, but consistently
compelling woman living in the provinces of nineteenth-century
France, Gustave Flaubert invented not only the modern novel but
also a modern attitude toward human character and human experience
that remains with us to this day. One of the rare works of art that
it would be fair to call perfect, "Madame Bovary" has had an
incal?culable influence on the literary culture that followed it.
This translation, by Francis Steeg?muller, is acknowledged by
common consensus as the definitive English rendition of Flaubert's
text.
