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 \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eCouples\u003c\/i\u003e. 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 works--Rousseau's\u003ci\u003e La Nouvelle H駘o?e\u003c\/i\u003e, Goethe's \u003ci\u003eDie Wahlverwandtschaften\u003c\/i\u003e, and Flaubert's \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e. His interpretation encompasses the role of women, the structure of the family, social mores, and the history of sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Tanner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421434415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421434414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.89d","brand":"Tony Tanner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940963746047,"sku":"9781421434414","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5f7cc71f-b844-41eb-91a8-5d2d93887a96.jpg?v=1681450142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adultery-in-the-novel-tony-tanner-9781421434414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
