Vem daterade Gustave Flaubert?

Gustave Flaubert (UK: FLOH-bair, US: floh-BAIR; French: [ɡystav flobɛʁ]; 12 December 1821 – 8 May 1880) was a French novelist. He has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country and abroad. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality". He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.

Louise Colet, med födelsenamn Louise Révoil, född 15 augusti 1810 i Aix-en-Provence, Frankrike, död 9 mars 1876 i Paris, var en fransk poet och författare. Hon är bland annat känd för sitt stormiga utomäktenskapliga förhållande med Gustave Flaubert, vilket kan ha inspirerat honom till sitt magnum opus Madame Bovary.
