Adultery is a dominant feature in chivalric literature; it becomes a major concern in Shakespeare's last plays; and it forms the central plot of novels from Anna Karenina to Couples. Tony Tanner proposes that transgressions of the marriage contract take on a special significance in the bourgeois novels of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His interpretation begins with the general topic of adultery in literature and then zeroes in on three worksRousseau's La Nouvelle Héloïse, Goethe's Die Wahlverwandtschaften, and Flaubert's Madame Bovary. His interpretation encompasses the role of women, the structure of the family, social mores, and the history of sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Introduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Rousseau's\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e La Nouvelle Héloïse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Goethe's \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDie Wahlverwandtschaften\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV: Flaubert's \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V: Conclusion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelected Bibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408134316375,"sku":"9781421434414","price":38.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/adultery-in-the-novel-9781421434414","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
