{"product_id":"madame-bovary-a-norton-critical-edition-9780393979176","title":"Madame Bovary: A Norton Critical Edition","description":"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 \u003cem\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFlaubert, Gustave:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eGustave Flaubert\u003c\/strong\u003e (1821-80) is considered to be one of the most important French novelists of the nineteenth century. He's most well known for his novel \u003cem\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/em\u003e, and for his desire to write a book about nothing, a novel in which all external elements, especially the presence of the author, have been eliminated, leaving nothing but style itself. Often considered a member of the naturalist school, Flaubert despised categorizations of this sort, and in novels like \u003cem\u003eBouvard and Pécuchet\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the inaptness of this label. In addition to these two novels, he is also the author of \u003cem\u003eA Sentimental Education\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSalambo\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThree Tales\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Temptation of Saint Anthony\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCohen, Margaret:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eMargaret Cohen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in the Department of French and Italian at Stanford University.
