Product Description
1927. Amandine-Aurore-Lucile Dudevant wrote under the pen name of George Sand. Known for being unconventional and a champion for women, Sand wrote not only novels, but for the theater and autobiographical accounts of her life. The story of her life is contained in her letters, novels and prefaces. She was the frankest, sincerest and least egotistical of women, but could not write a line without revealing herself. The selection and grouping of these revelations and the attempt to place them on a clear and vivid background is the aim of this biographer. ... Read more

Product Description
1927. The biography of Sand (Amandine-Aurore-Lucie Dupin), considered by some to be the greatest feminine genius known to literature. A prolific writer, she began with romantic fiction, then turned to novels of social reform and rounded out her forty-five years of writing with pastoral tales that have become classics, producing one hundred and ten volumes in all. She lived a life, which some believe was full of contradictions, but in retrospect she was a woman one hundred years ahead of her time. Contents: Aurore; Mademoiselle Dupin; Madame Dudevant; George and Alfred; George and Michel; Madame Sand; Sand and Chopin; Love of Humanity; The Theater; The Sand-Musset Controversy; Mother George; and Grandmother George. ...

Product Description
M. Flobaire, You must be a truly dirty oaf to have taken my name and written a letter with it to a lady who had some favors for me which you doubtless received in my place and inherited my hat in place of which I have received yours which you left there. It is the lowness of that lady's conduct and of yours that make me think that she lacks education entirely and all those sentiments which she ought to understand. ... Read more

Product Description
From the translator's preface when the book was originally published in 1888:

It is easy now, in England at any rate, to form a true, a calm, and an impartial opinion of George Sand; twenty-five years ago it would have been difficult; half a century ago it would have been impossible.Time has the privilege of toning down all exaggerations, and of softening in a picture the colours which seemed to us, at first, false from their very brilliancy.We are astonished now at finding ourselves comparatively unmoved by the novels which, when they originally appeared, excited so powerfully our enthusiasm or our surprise; and we have been led to judge from the purely literary point of view, books supposed to contain the programme of new and startling doctrines on philosophy, religion, and life in general.

M. Caro's biographical sketch of George Sand is, in every respect, the most satisfactory help to an appreciation of that wonderful character; it is an important chapter in the literary history of an epoch which has witnessed the most complete transformation ever seen of French society in all its relations and aspects. ...
