Summary |
"Flaubert und die Herkunft des modernen Romans" by Heinrich Mann is a literary analysis written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the intricate relationship between Gustave Flaubert's works, particularly his novel "Madame Bovary," and the development of the modern novel. Mann explores Flaubert's struggles with realism, the influence of romantic ideals, and the emotional complexities that underlie his art. In this work, Mann dissects Flaubert's artistic journey, highlighting his battle against societal norms and his own emotional depths. He argues that Flaubert’s disdain for the bourgeois world and his quest for an impersonal style in literature reflect a deeper struggle with his romantic inclinations. Through critical discussions of characters like Emma Bovary, Mann illustrates how Flaubert's poignant portrayals of their inner lives reveal a tension between longing for beauty and grappling with harsh realities. Mann emphasizes that Flaubert's writing is not just a reflection of reality but a complex interplay of emotions, artistic integrity, and a yearning for intellectual and creative freedom.
