	Gustave Flaubert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flaubert's father, who serves as a model for the character Dr. Larivière in Madame Bovary, was a surgeon in practice at Rouen; his mother was connected with some of the oldest Norman families.
		Flaubert had aged rapidly since 1870, and he seemed quite an old man when he was carried off by apoplexy at the age of only 58 in 1880.
		Flaubert is a writer who must always appeal more to other authors than to the world at large, because the art of writing, the indefatigable pursuit of perfect expression, were always before him, and because he hated the lax felicities of improvisation as a disloyalty to the most sacred procedures of the literary artist.

		Considered by many to be the father of realistic fiction (see Realism), Flaubert consistently rejected membership in any school, asserting that he “strove only for beauty.” His works influenced the development of the modern novel, most notably in their detailed, objective observation of everyday life and their concern for form.
		Flaubert’s use of this so-called free indirect style, by which the exact thoughts of a character are reported by an objective and articulate narrator, revolutionized modern fiction.
		Flaubert anticipated many of the ideas and forms of the novel in the second half of the 20th century in Bouvard et Pécuchet (1881; Bouvard and Pécuchet, 1896), an unfinished novel published after his death that expresses the novelist’s disgust with middle-class society even more than his earlier works do.

		Flaubert’s ‘Balzacian’ compositions are thus characterised by an underlying sense of direction, one that is all the more effective in the absence of an author or narrator with a developed identity or personality, and when the demonstration itself is, as most obviously in L’Education sentimentale, of a fundamental lack of direction.
		Flaubert’s fascination with later Roman history and the history of the Early Church is paralleled in the Decadent taste of Des Esseintes, the ‘hero’ of A rebours (1884).
		Flaubert, who had been brought up in the Hôtel-Dieu de Rouen where his father was surgeon-in-chief, had a keen eye for physical decay and knew a thing or two about rotting corpses: ‘A few flies came buzzing around and licked the dried blood around her half-open mouth.

		The portrait of Flaubert is interesting if somewhat repetitive, but dressing this collection of essays up as a novel is pure pretention.

		It is easy to see why Gustave Flaubert was so firm in dissociating himself from such writers as Champfleury and Duranty, given that his own work undermined all sense of stability in perceptions and values by emphasizing the idea that any version of reality is relative to the person who perceives it.

	Style: History with style: the impassible writing of Flaubert - Gustave Flaubert
		In this way Green makes of Flaubert a card-carrying historian of the descriptive stripe.(3) Although ultimately reductive and misleading, hers is in many ways a natural position to take, for while the stakes are sometimes different, much of Flaubert's work seems to follow in the tradition of the historical novel.
		The difficulty, however, is that by reading Flaubert's texts as illustrations or examples of historiographical theory, one fails to do justice to the way in which his writing obviously differs from all other methods of historical writing.
		Reading Flaubert's works historiographically may ultimately have an important impact on the question of how we read and understand history, but the works themselves are extremely difficult to assimilate to, or exhaust by, that reading.

		Though Madame Bovary escapes Flaubert's predilection for overblown, histrionic description, his heroine is primarily a woman of gestures, a mime of the grandly operatic emotions she yearns to feel.
		Improbably, Flaubert effectively elicits sympathy for Emma Bovary as the story progresses; her increasingly involved dalliances with Léon and Rodolphe reveal a woman succumbing to her baser instincts in an attempt to alleviate the suffering of a station in life she is decidedly ill-fit to occupy.
		Flaubert argued that the writer ought to be like God in the universe: present everywhere yet visible nowhere ("L'auteur dans son oeuvre doit être comme Dieu dans l'univers, présent partout et visible nulle part.").

	Madame Bovary (washingtonpost.com)
		Flaubert's artistic sensibility veered most naturally to gaudy excess, not to say a voyeuristic passion for the fleshy, sanguinary and transgressive.
		Such linguistic close analysis, which Flaubert invites and rewards, may nonetheless displace attention from an equally important aspect of the novel: its narrative economy and speed.
		As in Jane Austen, there's pervasive irony throughout Flaubert, some of it verging on the heavy-handed: Charles, unaware as usual, announces to the lecherous Rodolphe "that his wife was at his disposal." But what struck me most in rereading the book this time are its tiny, almost casual, naturalistic details:

		Gustave Flaubert disliked photography because he felt it was a refuge for bad painters who did not want to take the time to learn how to paint.
		Therefore, there are very few daguerreotypes of Flaubert and so the discovery of a previously unpublished photograph of Flaubert at approximately 25 years of age is unusual.
		However, an analysis of his life at that time reveals that the photograph was probably taken for his mistress, Louise Colet, to delay a confrontation over Flaubert's strong attachment to his mother.
