Gustave Flaubert
Gustave Flaubert est un écrivain français, né à Rouen le 12 décembre 1821 et mort à Croisset, lieu-dit de la commune de Canteleu, le 8 mai 1880. Considéré comme l'un des plus grands romanciers du XIXe siècle, aux côtés de Victor Hugo, Stendhal, Balzac et Zola, il se distingue par sa conception exigeante du métier d'écrivain et par la modernité de sa poétique romanesque.
Prosateur de premier plan de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, Gustave Flaubert a marqué la littérature universelle par la profondeur de ses analyses psychologiques, son souci de réalisme, son regard lucide sur les comportements des individus et de la société. La force de son style se révèle dans de grands romans comme Madame Bovary (1857), Salammbô (1862), L'Éducation sentimentale (1869) ou le recueil de nouvelles Trois Contes (1877).
