Flaubert, G. 1862. Salammbo, translated by A. J. Krailsheimer. Penguin Classics (1977). Flaubert’s sensuous and sensational follow‒up to Madame Bovary. The novel follows Salammbo, the daughter of Hamilcar Barca, as she becomes ensnared by the intrigues of the Mercenary War. Criticized by some as an indulgent exercise in Orientalism and imperialist propaganda, Flaubert’s novel helped shape the image of Carthage in art and the popular imagination. Review essay by A. Mayor, 2010 available at http://www.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/MayorSweatingTruthCarth.pdf
