' Madame Bovary is first and foremost a book, a carefully composed book, amply premeditated and totally coherent, in which nothing is left to chance and in which the author or, better, the painter does exactly what he intends to do from beginning to end.' - Charles Augustin Saint-Beuve, Causeries du Lundi.

But affection and affectation don't sit well together.' - Clive James, The Atlantic

(.) No doubt this new translation of Madame Bovary is a labor of love. Other comparably great and famous novels aren't, but it is. 'The first thing to say about Madame Bovary is that it's a terrific story.'As for the intimate, deeper center of the book, there is no doubt that it resides in the adulterous woman she alone possesses all the attributes of a worthy hero, albeit in the guise of a disgraced victim.' - Charles Baudelaire, L'artiste.Madame Bovary has been filmed numerous times, most famously by Jean Renoir (1933, with Valentine Tessier as Emma and Pierre Renoir as Charles), Vincente Minnelli (1949, with Jennifer Jones, James Mason, and Louis Jourdan), and Claude Chabrol (1991, with Isabelle Huppert)Ī- : remarkable character study, impressive writing.The quotes in our review are taken from the previous Penguin Classics translation, by Alan Russell.
