 Lost fragments from the life of Flaubert - TLS Highlights - Times Online
And whereas in both necrologies the emotions on show are rawer, less literary, than in the letters, the notes on Bouilhet’s death reveal a new development – the fear of emotion.
Bouilhet was Flaubert’s inflexible literary support, his intellectual compass, his “left testicle”; also, his partner in fun – it was with Bouilhet that he developed the ecclesiastical fantasy world inhabited by the Révérend Père Cruchard.
The scale of Bouilhet’s anxious vandalism is much greater: 523 of his letters to Flaubert survive, against a mere eighty-six in the opposite direction.

 Influences on Bovary
Flaubert despised the bourgeois, and his friend Louis Bouilhet instructed him to write a book about them.
Bouilhet reminded Flaubert about the Delamares and said they would make an excellent subject for a book.
Bouilhet countered these criticisms by saying the book would give Flaubert a chance to "paint provincial life as it deserved to be painted" (Steegmuller 220).

Bouilhet, whom he greatly respected, had already advised him to concern himself with real people and their daily lives, and to write with the precision of Balzac (which provoked a desolate shriek).
On one occasion as he was bemoaning his problems, Bouilhet began to talk about a young doctor acquainted with the Flaubert family and his tragic marriage.
But Bouilhet pointed out that for his novel the Normandy setting was one he knew in intimate detail.

 Gustave Flaubert. Biography and complete works
Surprisingly for a man famed for his literary misanthropy he also enjoyed the company of a wide variety of friends; he was closest to the writer Louis Bouilhet, but he also corresponded with the Goncourt brothers, Sainte-Beuve, George Sand and even Princesse Mathilde, Napoleon III's cousin.
From 1846 to 1854 he had an affair with the poet Louise Colet; his letters to her have been preserved, and according to Émile Faguet, their affair was the only sentimental episode of any importance in the life of Flaubert, who never married.
When Flaubert presented The temptation of Saint Anthony to Bouilhet and Du Camp in 1849 they are reputed to have advised him to throw such lyrical nonsense on the fire and write a realist novel instead.

The next morning, they were able to witness a little picturesque street fighting around the Palais-Royal, and Flaubert and Du Camp (they had lost Louis in the melee) were among the first new "citizens" to tour the liberated Tuileries.
At this point, Wall says, the royal apartments were still intact, the crowd was in a festive mood, and two stout apostles of the people sat cheerfully at the King's table finishing his breakfast.
In 1851, it fell to the coup d'état of "the people's prince," Louis Bonaparte, who had been democratically elected President of France by five and a half million newly enfranchised (male) citizens, including peasants and workers.

His list of complaints included: stomach cramps, intestinal discomfort, extreme nervousness, rheumatism (potassium bromide prescribed), a skin reaction that made him look like a leper, numerous rashes and boils as big as hens’ eggs all over his body, a recurrent cough, severe pains in the back of his head, insomnia, chronic headaches, and lumbago.
In August 1854 Flaubert told Louis Bouilhet that he planned to consult the famous Philippe Ricord, although he apparently never did.
He was receiving treatment with mercury and iodide for a syphilitic tumor, or gumma.

 Pleasure Wars
In late December 1852, Flaubert wrote his closest friend, the poet Louis Bouilhet, a charming note of thanks for some Latin verses.
The missives that Flaubert normally sent out from his hideaway, his mother's house at Croisset, near Rouen, to his friends, his beloved sister, Caroline, and his promiscuous mistress the minor poet Louise Colet, were didactic, scatological, dripping with disenchantment.
But if his bearish humor in the letter to Bouilhet was uncharacteristic for the adult Flaubert, his hatred of the bourgeoisie was not.

The river does wind, it is true; but its mouth lies exactly due west of Rouen, while the Pays des Caux is the Pays de Caux.
Elsewhere, we have Flaubert giving Louis Bouilhet the "nickname" Hyacinthe, when that was the poet's middle name; and the novelist at Croisset hearing "the one o'clock ferry at La Bouille whistling its departure" (unlikely, since La Bouille is a good eight miles downstream).
There is Mérimée's Columbo (for Colombo) and Diane de Poitier (sic) and the statement that "there are no images of Flaubert between childhood and middle age" (there are certainly three).

Then, with The Temptation of Saint Anthony, written between 1848 and 1849, Flaubert approaches the genre again as he has saints, demons and others exchange words with the anchorite.
After reading the Temptation to his friends Louis Bouilhet and Maxime du Camp, they suggested that he abandon the project because they sensed that he would not find a publisher.
He did not, however, follow their advice because he eventually went on to write two more versions, the third of which he published in 1874.

From the seclusion of a large family home on the banks of the Seine near Rouen, the so-called hermit of Croisset raises the art of prose narrative to new levels and reveals its modernity.
As he stomps up and down the avenue of lime trees in his garden, sometimes in the company of his friend and mentor Louis Bouilhet, Flaubert bellows out the sentences of Madame Bovary, to the amazement or amusement of the folk in passing river craft.
This is the legendary gueuloir, or ‘yelling place’, where the novelist puts his writing through the test of sound, rhythm and vocal fluidity, subjecting it to the final quality control.

The reading took four days at the rate of eight hours per day, from noon to four each day and then from eight to midnight.
Bouilhet, a very shy man and a loyal friend except in regards to things literary, diagnosed the entire botch of a book as a case of “misplaced industry” and just repeated that it should be burned.
Du Camp elaborated on why the cosmic scale of La Tentation de Saint Antoine, filled as it was with epic characters, saints, gods, and goddesses, as well as constant authorial commentary on religion and society, was wrong for the expansive, opinionated, didactic, romantic, larger-than-life voice that was Flaubert's—

He wrote Saint Anthony, which was 541 pages long, at breakneck speed, without thinking ahead or looking back, and the result was a novel that was out of control in its style—a mix of fantastical and lyrical—and in its subject: the parade of civilizations before the eyes of a third-century monk.
Oblivious to the impression he would make with this novel, Flaubert summoned his friends Louis Bouilhet and Maxim du Camp as soon as the novel was completed.
The hours that Bouilhet and I spent listening were lamentable.

 The New York Review of Books: Flaubert, C'est Moi
The two most powerful items are private necrologies Flaubert wrote and then sealed away after the deaths of his friends Alfred Le Poittevin (in 1848) and Louis Bouilhet (in 1869).
The Bouilhet piece contains a great biographical surprise: the revelation that a severe estrangement took place between the famously inseparable friends three years before Bouilhet's death.
This startling froideur—with each accusing the other of a different kind of embourgeoisement—has only ever been hinted at before, and then misunderstood; previously, it lay concealed by the reconciliation effected as Bouilhet was approaching death.

But the threat to artistic identity is never as strong as when alterity assumes the guise of an encounter with an author who occupies an apparently nearby position in the field.
This indeed happened when Flaubert's good friend Louis Bouilhet drew his attention to a novel by Champfleury then appearing as a serial and whose subjectÑadultery in the provincesÑwas very close to that of Madame Bovary (CP, 2:562-63).
This oxymoron condenses Flaubert's whole aesthetic program and tells a good deal about the impossible situation in which he put himself in trying to reconcile opposites, that is, exigencies and experiences that were ordinarily associated with opposite areas of social space and of the literary field, hence socio-logically incompatible.
