Course Overview

Madame Bovary has been celebrated as one of the greatest novels of all time. Following Gustave Flaubert’s acquittal on charges of offending public and religious morality in 1857, it immediately became a bestseller. Emma Bovary’s romantic fantasies, inspired by fashionable, sentimental novels, collide with her intensely boring provincial life. In many ways, her character embodies the spirit of modernity. Flaubert’s work, hailed as a realist masterpiece, dissects illusion, reality, love, money, alienation, and desire. Join Professor Cathy Yandell in exploring this brilliant and iconic novel. Recommended translation: Lydia Davis, Penguin, 2010.
