Madame Bovary

... or classical for that matter: there was for him only one Beautiful, with varying aspects...” (206) Although, Henry James has no doubt that Flaubert combines his techniques and his own style in order to transform his novel into a work that clearly exhibits romanticism and a realistic view, despite Bart’s arguments.
