Hardback. Michel Winock situates Flaubert in France's century of great democratic transition. Wary of the masses, Flaubert rejected universal suffrage, but above all he hated the vulgar, ignorant bourgeoisie, a class that embodied every vice of the democratic age. His loathing became a fixation and a source of literary inspiration. Translator(s): Elliot, Nicholas. Num Pages: 528 pages, 32 halftones. BIC Classification: BGL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 246 x 167 x 44. Weight in Grams: 978.
