Enid Starkie, a renowned Oxford scholar and biographer of French literature, presents a meticulous and authoritative account of Flaubert's formative years — from his provincial upbringing in Normandy to the painstaking creation of his masterpiece, Madame Bovary. Drawing on extensive research into letters, manuscripts, and contemporary accounts, Starkie illustrates how Flaubert's obsessive pursuit of the perfect sentence and his tortured inner life shaped one of the most influential bodies of work in Western literature. Written with scholarly rigour yet animated by a deep passion for its subject, this biography remains an essential companion to understanding the man behind the art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888001790171,"sku":"2026200009271-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/63f85eca-356c-4329-8690-e8dcad9b0c8d.png?v=1781752181","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009271-secondhand-flaubert-the-making-of-the-master","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
