Identifier	Thesis 1794
Author	Badulescu, Iuliana
Title	Madame Bovary : offense à la morale et à la religion?
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2005
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	When Flaubert's masterpiece, Madame Bovary, was published in 1857, the success was immediate. Despite its popularity, the novel was disliked by the Imperial censors. The author was charged with insulting the public morality and offending decent manners. In fact the novel went to trial. The plot seems rather inoffensive; Emma Bovary, the wife of a small town physician, acts on her dreams, loves and longing, which lead her to adultery and suicide. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the 1856 trial in order to ascertain what was offensive to the religion and public morality in the novel, to show how that offense reflected the moral censorship of the period, and to present a contemporary view of the 1856 trial. The Introduction provides a study of Gustave Flaubert as a realist writer. The next chapter presents a short history of France's censorship, especially in the second half of the nineteenth century. The study then looks at Flaubert's life from his birth to maturity, his family, his education, as well as the artistic and social environment that surrounded him and influenced his work. The following chapters focus on the trial of Madame Bovary, the speeches given by the Imperial prosecutor Pinard and the defender Snard, then Madame Bovary and the critics, the beauty of Flaubert's art, and a contemporary attitude toward the 1856 trial. Finally, the study concludes that Flaubert used Emma's character and her life experience as a means of expressing his own realist views on society. By depicting his voice through his characters he was actually only attempting to promote virtue and the beauty of his art defends him from the accusation of immorality.
