From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Flaubert's mock dictionary became an inexhaustible hunting ground for bourgeoisophobes; he drew it from his sottisier, a lovingly gathered bouquet of inane opinions intended to supply material for the second volume of his last, unfinished novel, Bouvard and Pecuchet."--The Bourgeois Experience: Victoria to Freud (5 vols, 1984-1998) by Peter Gay |
