And what is at stake when literature and law confront each other in the courtroom? Nineteenth-century England and France are remembered for their active legal prosecution of literature, and this book examines the ways in which five novels were interpreted in the courtroom: Gustave Flaubert’s \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Bonnetain’s \u003ci\u003eCharlot s’amuse\u003c\/i\u003e, Henry Vizetelly’s English translations of Émile Zola’s \u003ci\u003eLa Terre\u003c\/i\u003e, Oscar Wilde’s \u003ci\u003eThe Picture of Dorian Gray\u003c\/i\u003e, and Radclyffe Hall’s \u003ci\u003eThe Well of Loneliness\u003c\/i\u003e. It argues that each of these novels attracted legal censure because they presented figures of sexual dissidence – the androgyne, the onanist or masturbator, the patricide, the homosexual, and the lesbian – that called into question an increasingly fragile normative, middle-class masculinity. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48731095564523,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":126.33,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781138606166-1.jpg?v=1781658525","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781138606166","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
