- Abstract
This article presents information on the book "Madame Bovary's Ovaries: A Darwinian Look at Literature," by David P. Barash and Nanelle R. Barash. This book attempts to interpret fiction in terms of evolutionary biology. This may not sound promising, but the idea is more robust than it might at first appear. The book explores various aspects of human mating strategies, rooting human behaviours within the animal repertoire. But where most such books rely on scholarly papers and monographs to ground the various points within a shared and robust scientific knowledge, these authors use literature sources as references.
