Abstract

In this paper we describe the Bovary Project, a manuscripts digitization project of the famous French writer Gustave FLAUBERT first great work. This project has just begun at the end of 2002 and should end in 2006 by providing an online access to an hypertextual edition of "Madame Bovary" drafts set. We develop the global context of this project, the main objectives, the first studies and the considered outlooks for the project's carried out.
