Flaubert''s Characters - The Language of Illusion

Klappentext Dr Knight explores the relationship between the contents of Flaubert's stories and his practice as a writer. Zusammenfassung This major new study takes issue both with the traditional critical view that Flaubert's central characters are weak and with the approach adopted by a number of contemporary critics who claim that character is deliberately undermined in the interests of non-representational writing.
