The eponymous character lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the novel was first serialized in Revue de Paris between 1 October 1856 and 15 December 1856, public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. After Flaubert's acquittal on 7 February 1857, Madame Bovary became a bestseller in April 1857 when it was published in two volumes. A seminal work of literary realism, the novel is now considered Flaubert's masterpiece, and one of the most influential literary works in history. The British critic James Wood writes: \"Flaubert established, for good or ill, what most readers think of as modern realist narration, and his influence is almost too familiar to be visible.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong established as one of the greatest novels, the book has been described as a \"perfect\" work of fiction. Henry James wrote: \"Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone: it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgment.\" Marcel Proust praised the \"grammatical purity\" of Flaubert's style, while Vladimir Nabokov said that \"stylistically it is prose doing what poetry is supposed to do\". Similarly, in his preface to his novel The Joke, Milan Kundera wrote, \"not until the work of Flaubert did prose lose the stigma of aesthetic inferiority. Ever since Madame Bovary, the art of the novel has been considered equal to the art of poetry.\" Giorgio de Chirico said that in his opinion \"from the narrative point of view, the most perfect book is Madame Bovary by Flaubert\". Julian Barnes called it the best novel that's ever been written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe novel exemplifies the tendency of realism, over the course of the nineteenth century, to become increasingly psychological, concerned with the accurate representation of thoughts and emotions rather than of external things. In this way it precedes the French novelist Marcel Proust and the twentieth-century apotheosis James Joyce.
