Dictionnaire Flaubert
This dictionary, which has mobilized an international and multidisciplinary team of about a hundred collaborators, offers a wealth of knowledge about Flaubert in his century, his works and their themes, their pre-texts and their reception up to the contemporary era. It contains notes that answer the main questions about his life, his surroundings, his literary, philosophical, political conceptions, his opinions and his tastes. It discusses the writer's work since his youth, his novel projects, his evolution as well as a whole cultural and scientific context that allows to understand the relationship of his works to history, politics, religion and to knowledge. Some longer articles take stock of important topics or areas that have not been fully explored.--Honoré Champion.
