Destiné aux chercheurs, étudiants et bibliophiles, cet ouvrage de la collection Encre et identité propose une synthèse rigoureuse et profonde sur Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880). Sous le titre Flaubert: La quête incessante de la perfection, cette étude s'attache à démontrer comment l'ermite de Croisset a façonné le roman moderne en le dotant d'une structure et d'une dignité artistique sans précédent.
L'approche adoptée ici est pluridisciplinaire. Elle articule la biographie - notamment l'influence déterminante de l'environnement médical paternel et les crises nerveuses du jeune Gustave - avec une analyse génétique des textes. En scrutant le travail des manuscrits, le livre met en lumière la lutte acharnée de l'auteur contre les automatismes de la langue et la vulgarité des discours publics.
Les chapitres explorent méthodiquement:
La naissance d'une vocation dans les deuils et le retrait du monde.
Le scandale moral et juridique de Madame Bovary, symptôme d'une vérité trop crue pour son temps.
Le déploiement d'une ironie comme méthode de connaissance et de distance critique.
L'héritage d'une sensibilité dirigée contre l'utilitarisme et le conformisme de la modernité bourgeoise.
Cet ouvrage constitue un outil de référence pour comprendre les tensions qui irriguent encore la fiction contemporaine: le conflit entre désir et réalité, la séduction des images mensongères et la recherche d'une forme juste capable de rendre justice à l'expérience humaine. Une étude essentielle pour quiconque souhaite mesurer la nécessité de l'art flaubertien dans un monde saturé de communication superficielle.
