Flaubert: The Making Of The Master
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark work of literary biography, Flaubert: The Making of the Master chronicles the early life and artistic development of Gustave Flaubert, one of the towering figures of nineteenth-century French literature. Enid Starkie, a celebrated Oxford scholar and authority on French letters, presents a richly detailed portrait of the man behind Madame Bovary, tracing his turbulent youth, formative relationships, and the relentless perfectionism that would define his genius. With scholarly rigour balanced by vivid narrative prose, Starkie uncovers the psychological and intellectual forces that shaped Flaubert's revolutionary approach to realism and style. This first volume of her two-part biography argues persuasively that understanding the artist requires a deep reckoning with the struggles of the man — his provincial Norman roots, his conflicts with bourgeois society, and his almost monastic dedication to the craft of writing.
