Interesting and procative. LaCapra addressed issues that are of central concern to modern literary theory. He followes recent French Theorists, such as Derrida, Foucault, Kristeva and LaCan in suggest that among the most crucial issues raised by the novel and its reception are the relations of the novel's subversive impetus to an indeterminacy of narrative voice, and the way in which the problem of the narrative subject, itself, has a broader political and ideological dimensions.

In 1857, following the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert was charged with having committed an "outrage to public morality and religion." Dominick LaCapra, an intellectual historian with wide-ranging literary interests, here examines this remarkable trial. LaCapra draws on material from Flaubert's correspondence, the work of literary critics, and Jean-Paul Sartre's analysis of Flaubert. LaCapra maintains that Madame Bovary is at the intersection of the traditional and the modern novel, simultaneously invoking conventional expectations and subverting them.
