Excerpt from Madame Bovary: A Study of Provincial Life Saint Antony. But it is necessary to look for many things in romanticism; and the romanticism of Hugo, which was one of the delights of Flaubert, did not resemble that of De Musset, (lord de Musset, as Flaubert called him) which he strongly disliked. What he loved in romanticism was the colour, and nothing but the colour. He loved the romanti cism of the Orientals, of Hugo and Chateaubriand, that plastic romanticism, whose object is to substi tute in literature sensations of art for the expres sion of ideas, or even of sentiments. It is precisely here that naturalism and romanticism - or at least French naturalism, which is very different from that of the Russians or the English - join hands. In the one case, as in the other, the attempt is made to represent -as he himself puts it; and when one represents nothing except the vulgar, the common, the mediocre, the everyday, commonplace, or gro tesque, he is a naturalist, like the author of Ma dame Bo'vary; but one is a romanticist when, like the author of Salammbo, he makes this world vanish, and recreates a strange land filled with Byzantine or Carthaginian civilization, with its barbaric luxury, its Splendour of corruption, immoderate appetites, and monstrous deities.
