  • Le Portrait De George Sand

    Le Portrait De George Sand

    OUTIL D’EXPLOITATION Portrait de George Sand par Auguste Charpentier, 1838 (Copie, original conservé au Musée de la Vie romantique à Paris) Cette huile sur toile, conçue en 1838 par Auguste Charpentier, a été réalisée à Nohant en 1838. A cette époque, la vie de George Sand connaît plusieurs changements. La séparation avec Casimir Dudevant est prononcée depuis 1836 et la jeune femme retrouve sa liberté ainsi que le domaine familial. Sa grande carrière littéraire est lancée depuis quelques années, avec Indiana, un véritable succès, et Lélia, qui fait scandale. Le XIXe siècle offre aux artistes une imagerie abondante grâce à la diversité des moyens de production (peinture, sculpture, gravure, dessin) mais aussi aux progrès de la photographie. George Sand saisit rapidement l’intérêt promotionnel du portrait et veille attentivement à son image et sa diffusion. Auguste Charpentier (1813-1880) est peu connu lorsqu’il se rend à Nohant pour peindre George Sand et ses enfants. La célébrité de son modèle rejaillit vite sur l’artiste qui acquiert par la suite une certaine renommée sous le Second Empire en réalisant le portrait de nombreuses personnalités. Dès son arrivée à Nohant, le peintre fait part à sa tante de ses impressions : « C’est la plus admirable tête que l’on puisse voir, et je ne suis pas encore revenu de ma première impression. Je commence son portrait demain seulement, et j’ai voulu avant passer une journée pour étudier son admirable personne. Essayer de vous la dépeindre serait impossible, je vais rassembler tous mes moyens pour tâcher de la réussir et alors, d’après son portrait, vous pourrez en avoir une petite idée… C’est depuis ces 2 soirées que j’ai pu admirer cette femme si belle et si remarquable à qui on ne donnerait pas plus de 28 ans… ».

  • Indiana As a Righting of Bernardin De Saint-Pierre's Paul Et Virginie

    Indiana As a Righting of Bernardin De Saint-Pierre's Paul Et Virginie

    RE· DEFINING IDYLLIC LOVE: GEORGE SAND'S INDIANA AS A RIGHTING OF BERNARDIN DE SAINT-PIERRE'S PAUL ET VIRGINIE by Syl vie L. F. Richards "Les hommes naissent asiatiques. emopeens. fran~ais, anglais; Us sont cultivateurs, marchands, soldats; mais dans tout pays les femmes naissent, vivent. et meurent femme ....Ainsi les femmes n'appartiennent qu' au genre humain. Elles le rappellent sans cesse a l'humanite par leurs sentiments natw'els et meme par leurs passions" (Bernardin. Paul 58). With this illustrative statement, Bemardin de Saint-Pierre defined women's roles in society in what he perceived to be a positive framework based upon natural law as understood in late eighteenth-century France. This understanding of gender roles formed the deep structure for his most influential, idyllic romance Paul et Virginie. Quicldy hailed as a classic, the novel would become the prototype for a generation of novel writers, including Aaubert whose Emma Bovary would become poisoned by the unrealistic love expectation found in Paul et Virginie, and by the lack of personal definition for women endemic in the society and confirmed by the novel's subtext. Aaubert would even name Mme. Aubain's children Paul and Virginie as an ironic twist in his 1876 short story Un ereUT simple. For George Sand, the condition of woman as expressed by Bemardin was untenable. Indiana, her first independant novel, written under her new pen name, is a deliberate rewrite of Paul et Virginie. Not only does she compare her heroine with Virginie intratextually, Sand sets her novel on the tie Bourbon, about 400 miles east of Madagascar and southeast of l'tIe Maurice, the place occupied by Paul and Virginie.

    Horace by George Sand Discussion Questions Used at SPL June 2008

    Southfield Public Library Horace by George Sand Discussion questions used at SPL June 2008 1. This book was written in 1841 - does anything in it still seem relevant? 2. Though it was translated, it seemed as though the translator was trying very hard to keep it from being modernized - how do you think he did in keeping the flavor of the 19th century? 3. Did you find it difficult to read? The writing is very formal, very detailed, with long, long sentences – is that different from things you usually read? 4. In general, how were the women portrayed? Were you surprised by any of them? 5. In general, how were the men portrayed? Again, were you surprised by any of them? 6. What did you think of Horace - was Theophile’s introduction of him in the first chapter intriguing? Did you think you would like him? 7. Did he have any endearing traits? What about annoying ones? What was it about him that made some people care for him? Was he crazy? Just young? Shallow? Manipulative? Did he have any deep relationships? 8. What did you think of Theophile? What did you think of his relationship with Eugenie? Was it a satisfying one for both of them? Why do you think he stayed in the neighborhood instead of being a doctor in a richer area? 9. What about Eugenie - what sort of woman was she? What do you think she thought of her relationship with Theophile? 10. And then there is Marthe - how would you describe her? 11. What did you think of Paul Arsene? 12.

Department of Comparative Literature The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date March 17„ 1970 Supervisor: Professor Joyce Hallamore ABSTRACT One area related to Fryderyk Chopin which has received little attention is his influence upon literature. In order to de• velop two aspects of this theme a key word "basilisk" has been introduced which Robert Schumann as music critic used in explaining the unusual impression that Chopin's music first presented on the printed page. This word, with its overtones both magical and ominous, suggests the symbol for the growing wave of aestheticism with which the cult of Chopin came to be associated. Translated into literature the expression of the Chopin cult found its way into the early writings of Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, and John Galsworthy.

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2016. 192 pp. $110.00 U.S. (hb). ISBN 978-0-19-873539-7. Review by Pratima Prasad, University of Massachusetts, Boston. For some time now, scholars have been questioning the received idea that George Sand was an idealist writer whose novelistic art stood in opposition to the realism of her (male) contemporaries. Manon Mathias’s exploration of vision in Sand’s novels brings a refreshing and unique perspective to this conversation. The book’s central claim is that Sand’s œuvre was aimed at “bridging the gap between physical sight and abstract vision” (p. 3). As such, Mathias throws into sharp relief the ways in which Sand’s novels disrupt the divide between realism and idealism and blur the boundaries between the two canonized modes of novelistic production in nineteenth-century France: Romanticism (which we tend to associate with introspection and abstract vision) and Realism (which emphasized physical observation and mimetic representation). Vision in the Novels of George Sand is conceptually profound in its articulation of vision and the visual; at the same time, it is lucidly written and accessible. The book also casts a wide net, relating the concept of vision to literary esthetics, social utopianism, painting, and scientific investigation. Mathias’s study moves chronologically through Sand’s corpus. Chapter one reads Sand’s early novels, such as Indiana, Valentine, and Lélia, as they engage with what may be termed as visual realism, or the practice of reproducing social reality.
