researchers The Reading of Pleasure, You Understand That I Am Narrating, 2026
You Understand That I am Narrating is a partial reprint of the transcript of the 1857 trial of M. Gustave Flaubert for the publication of Madame Bovary. Charges had been brought against the book on two counts: offence against public morals and offense against relious morals. Thought Flaubert was ultimately aquitted, the trial is a striking document of reading from the first years of the realist novel. In the novel’s condemnation, and in its defense, we can see some of the first attempts to grapple with the novel’s form, here couched within the broader question of influence, censorship, and artistic license.
