Drawing directly from Flaubert's extensive body of work and his richly revealing personal letters, Tarver chronicles the inner life of the man who gifted world literature with Madame Bovary and Sentimental Education, illuminating the obsessive perfectionism, philosophical anguish, and artistic convictions that drove one of the 19th century's most formidable literary minds.\n\nTarver's approach is both scholarly and deeply humanising, weaving critical analysis with biographical detail to argue that Flaubert's correspondence is as much a masterpiece of self-revelation as his published fiction. The result is a study that sits at the compelling crossroads of literary biography and criticism, offering readers a window into the creative crucible of a writer who famously agonised over every syllable. For anyone who has ever marvelled at the cold, luminous prose of Madame Bovary and wondered what fires burned behind it, this volume holds the answers — and raises still more tantalising questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203189579995,"sku":"2026200015159-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2f293dac-96e0-4b0f-8fe3-38f44ff1d093.png?v=1788145377","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015159-secondhand-gustave-flaubert-as-seen-in-his-works-and-correspondence","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
