Sinopsis

Originally published in 1979. 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 works--Rousseau',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.
