Introduction -- 2. Rousseau's La Nouvelle Heloise -- 3. Goethe's Die Wahlverwandtschaften -- 4. Flaubert's Madame Bovary -- 5. Conclusion.Originally published in 1979. Adultery is a dominant feature in chivalric literature; it becomes a major concern in Shakespeare's last plays; and it forms the central plot of novels from Anna Karenina to Couples. Tony Tanner proposes that transgressions of the marriage contract take on a special significance in the "bourgeois novels" of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His interpretation begins with the general topic of adultery in literature and then zeroes in on three works—Rousseau's La Nouvelle Héloïse, Goethe's Die Wahlverwandtschaften, and Flaubert's Madame Bovary. His interpretation encompasses the role of women, the structure of the family, social mores, and the history of sexuality.Fictionfast(OCoLC)fst00923709Adultery in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00797399Adultery in literatureFiction19th centuryHistory and criticismFiction18th centuryHistory and criticismCriticism, interpretation, etc.Sex & sexuality, social aspectsFiction.Adultery in literature.Adultery in literature.FictionHistory and criticism.FictionHistory and criticism.Tanner Tony154345MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524702003321Adultery in the novel13279UNINA
