Wary of the masses, Flaubert rejected universal suffrage, but above all he hated the vulgar, ignorant bourgeoisie, a class that embodied every vice of the democratic age. His loathing became a fixation--and a source of literary inspiration.-- Provided by publisherTranslation of:: Winock, Michel., Flaubert., [Paris] : Gallimard, [2013]
