Anjali Joseph (Literary Activism, 11/2021), “Madame Bovary and the Impossibility of Re-reading“: “In a way it’s not a novel about human characters at all: it’s a novel of objects and insects and sunlight and birds, of stains, or habit and repetition. And though the characters in the novel live straitened lives, lives in which there isn’t much pleasure or satisfaction, the phenomenal world around them is generous with beauty.” Birger Vanwesenbeeck’s similarly personal reflections. French text. Notable translation and introduction by Eleanor Marx (entry at Marxists.org) criticized, contextualized / appreciated, and appreciated further.
