A Woman on the Mind: Aspects of Monomaniacal Love (D'annunzio, Flaubert, Wharton)

Abstract

dc:description

This study is a comparative reading of three novels on sentimental education: G. Flaubert's L'(')Education sentimentale, G. D'Annunzio's Il Piacere, and E. Wharton's The Age of Innocence. It chronicles the love obsessions of three young men as they search for the female embodiment of the mother-sister-friend-lover image projected by their imaginations.
