Abstract

Lover of Art for the sake of art, as his friend Maxime Du Camp said of him, and thundering against a century debased by the rise of the ignorant bourgeoisie, Flaubert never ceased to condemn the conformism of his contemporaries concerned with the moral of interest. This article shows how Flaubert paints the portrait of the "utilitarian"; sometimes designating the bourgeois, sometimes the socialists, the idea of the "utilitarian" allows him to position himself as an artist of integrity, without realizing that he does not always escape some of these traits himself.
