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. 606 $aFiction$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00923709 606 $aAdultery in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00797399 606 $aAdultery in literature 606 $aFiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 610 $aSex & sexuality, social aspects 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aAdultery in literature. 615 0$aAdultery in literature. 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aTanner$b Tony$0154345 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524702003321 996 $aAdultery in the novel$913279 997 $aUNINA
