英语词汇madame bovary的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Madame Bovary. Gustave Flaubert and his publisher were charged with “immorality” when his great novel Madame Bova- ry appeared in magazine form in 1856, but both were acquitted and the book was published a year later. The fictional Madame Bovary is based in part on Louise Colet (1810–76), a French poet and novelist with whom Flaubert carried on an affair for some nine years, beginning in 1846. The real Madame Bovary lived in Paris with her husband, Hippolyte Colet, and her affair with Flaubert was the author’s only serious liaison. It is hard to see where Flaubert could have gained his amazing insights into feminine psychology except by his intimate observations of this woman. Louise Colet’s story is told in her novel Lui: roman contemporain (1859). A Madame Bovary has come to mean a woman with an inflated, glamorized opinion of herself. Bo- varism, a rare word that should have greater currency, means, to quote Aldous Huxley, “the power granted to man to conceive himself as other than he is,” bovaric and bovarize deriving from it. Whether Louise Colet shared these qualities with Madame Bovary is debatable, but her name is linked with the words.
