About the Book
'pertinacious and deeply attentive study' -Julian Barnes, TLS'In Flaubert and the Pictorial Arts, Tooke addresses such matters of image into text with a generous and lucid intelligence.' -Julian Barnes, TLSFlaubert (1821-80) is a major writer, as popular in England as he is in France, and of an enduring fascination. This book examines his responses to pictorial art, from classical to popular, Eastern to Western, traditional to modern. Rival and foil, pictorial art emerges as one of the most powerful driving forces behind his own work.
