	Gustave Flaubert

		Flaubert's mother, Anne-Justine-Caroline (née Fleuriot), was the daughter of a physician; she became the most important person in the author's life.

	Gustave Flaubert - MSN Encarta
		Flaubert’s pessimistic view of human existence led him to believe that there was no place in the world for ideals or perfection, even though human beings could conceive of them.
		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.

	Gustave Flaubert - LoveToKnow 1911
		GUSTAVE FLAUBERT (1821-1880), French novelist, was born at Rouen on the 12th of December 1821.
		Flaubert had rapidly and prematurely aged since 1870, and he was quite an old man when he was carried off by a stroke of apoplexy at the age of only 58, on the 8th of May 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 improvization as a disloyalty to the most sacred procedures of the literary artist.
