Subject: Birth Control/Madame Bovary
As it happens, Emma Bovary bore many children to numerous lovers who,
like the children, and along with an infinity of other goings on in
her life, do not get mentioned in Flaubert's book.
What is "this problem" to which Mr. Unwin seeks a solution in "the
secondary literature on Flaubert"?

I don't know the Greek source for Tom Crone's query about the phrase "For this
the Gods cannot do, to make undone what was done". But maybe there is no need
to go back so far. A common Guadeloupean proverb is: "Kre'yon a Bondye' pa ni
gonm!" (= Le crayon de Dieu n'a pas de gomme). God's pencil has no eraser!

I'd be curious in hearing the results of your inquiry on Flaubert;
could you please post them?

Thanks.
