CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO FLAUBERT; ED. BY TIMOTHY UNWIN

the long version

"This volume brings together a series of new essays representing the latest scholarly thinking on the novelist's work and critical legacy. Textual analyses of the full range of Flaubert's work, including Madame Bovary, are accompanied by discussion of broader theoretical issues, and of Flaubert's place in the canon of French literature. This variety of approaches not only provides a robust critical framework, but also yields insights into why Flaubert's writing continues to exert such a powerful influence. This book includes a chronology and suggestions for further reading."--Jacket.
