Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-14 00:00:00 Angie Hernandez I read this as a secondary source for an essay on Waiting for Godot. I enjoyed the book and the arguments it makes; however, it did not end up fitting into my essay.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-31 00:00:00 James Summers A collection of 14 very uneven essays on Flaubert's writing. The book is organized by themes (History, Death, Characterization, Style, the Writing Process, the Visual, etc.) rather than treating the works individually. Some of these articles gave me some new insights; others were rather subjective or obvious. One managed to cram into a few pages every bit of critical jargon possible, from very different theoretical approaches. The book did give me some idea of the kind of studies that are popular today with regard to Flaubert and literature in general.
