Abstract
The article is devoted to the evolution of landscape descriptions in the early works of Flaubert, created before the novel Madame Bovary . It analyzes the formation of the technique of landscape descriptions and the transformation of its functions from landscape sketches in the exposition of the first literary experiments of 1835-1836 to the lyrical landscapes of the psychological tale Passion and Virtue (1837) with their compositional and plot-forming functions, and to pantheistic landscapes and landscape-reminiscences in Flaubert’s early autobiographical cycle: the mystery play Smar (1839), the novel Memoirs of a Madman (1839) and November, fragments in an indefinite style (1842), where the landscape becomes the basis of the artistic space of the autobiographical text and a way of expressing inner experience the author, his ontological and aesthetic ideas.
