OP Hello,
This is the first time that the quote from the word of the day has interested me to a degree such that I felt I had to share my thoughts. Namely, disregarding whether or not James actually thought as much, what do you think of Flaubert's characters lacking a "sufficiently deep consciousness"? For my part, I think it is true, but not pejoratively. Flaubert's characters, it seems to me, are surrounded by a certain halo of drama such that their depth becomes the surface--or something like the surface--of that which happens around them and that which they determine. Still life, will, will leading into still life: these are the characteristics which I love about Flaubert, especially 'A Simple Heart"...and, especially in French.
