description It is worthwhile to reconsider Flaubert’s famous two letters of Fall 1866 in which he answered the questions his friend Taine asked him while he was writing De l’Intelligence (published in 1870). These letters should be considered not so much from the point of view of Flaubertian poetics as that of the status given to mental images in what at the time was becoming a new academic discipline: psychology. What did Taine keep from the material Flaubert sent him? What, in his book, confirms or coincides with Flaubert’s observations? What, among these observations, was not kept, and why? Flaubert was consulted by Taine as a novelist: by revealing not only the “artistic images” but also hallucinations, he triggered new questions, thereby disrupting the categories set up by his scholarly correspondent.
