- Summary:
- "The Censorship Effect revises Pierre Bourdieu's famous claim that modernism began with a "conquest of autonomy" on the parts of Baudelaire and Flaubert, arguing that the stylistic features that prompted the criminal indictment of Madame Bovary and Les Fleurs du Mal were the products of an intense struggle and negotiation with a culture of censorship" -- Provided by publisher.
