  • 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.

  • George Sand and the Lure of the Heights: Indiana and Jacques
    George Sand and the Lure of the Heights: Indiana and Jacques Richard B. Grant University of Texas, Austin Current scholarship on George Sand has managed to get beyond the exteriors of her biography and has reached into the complex and troubled inner world of her psyche.1 There remains, however, a general tendency among the reading public, and even among some critics of nineteenth-century French literature, that most of her novels are easy to grasp, that they are more obvious than problematic, or in Roland Barthes‟ terminology, more lisibles than scriptibles. From Indiana, which protests loudly against any oppressive marriage bond to, say, Mlle la Quintinie, with its open anti-clericalism, the general opinion continues to be that, except perhaps for Lélia and Consuelo and its sequel, most of her fiction is easily assimilated. Sand‟s supposedly obvious fictions are not all that obvious, and it has been easy for critics to miss some important insights. To illustrate, I would like to reexamine two of her earliest efforts. One, Indiana (1832), is well known; the other, Jacques (1834) is less so. I will approach these two works by focusing on a motif that has not attracted systematic attention: the flight from the corrupt lowlands and their so-called civilization up into the solitude and purity of the mountain heights. The topos is hardly new, of course. Sand naturally shared in the universal tradition, one reemphasized by the entire Romantic generation, that “up there” one finds God, the sublime, and the pure, whereas “down here” life is compromise at best and often an outright mess.

  • Biography of George Sand
    Biography of George Sand Doumic, Rene Biography of George Sand Table Of Content 1 Biography of George Sand GEORGE SAND GEORGE SAND 2 Biography of George Sand CHAPTER I − AURORE DUPIN PSYCHOLOGY OF A DAUGHTER OF ROUSSEAU In the whole of French literary history, there is, perhaps, no subject of such inexhaustible and modern interest as that of George Sand. Of what use is literary history? It is not only a kind of museum, in which a few masterpieces are preserved for the pleasure of beholders. It is this certainly, but it is still more than this. Fine books are, before anything else, living works. They not only have lived, but they continue to live. They live within us, underneath those ideas which form our conscience and those sentiments which inspire our actions. There is nothing of greater importance for any society than to make an inventory of the ideas and the sentiments which are composing its moral atmosphere every instant that it exists. For every individual this work is the very condition of his dignity. The question is, should we have these ideas and these sentiments, if, in the times before us, there had not been some exceptional individuals who seized them, as it were, in the air and made them viable and durable? These exceptional individuals were capable of thinking more vigorously, of feeling more deeply, and of expressing themselves more forcibly than we are. They bequeathed these ideas and sentiments to us. Literary history is, then, above and beyond all things, the perpetual examination of the conscience of humanity.

CHOPIN THE CONQUEROR BIBLIOGRAPHY BOOKS BY JAMES HUNEKER PART I.--THE MAN I. POLAND:--YOUTHFUL IDEALS Gustave Flaubert, pessimist and master of cadenced lyric prose, urged young writers to lead ascetic lives that in their art they might be violent. Chopin's violence was psychic, a travailing and groaning of the spirit; the bright roughness of adventure was missing from his quotidian existence. The tragedy was within. One recalls Maurice Maeterlinck: "Whereas most of our life is passed far from blood, cries and swords, and the tears of men have become silent, invisible and almost spiritual." Chopin went from Poland to France--from Warsaw to Paris--where, finally, he was borne to his grave in Pere la Chaise. He lived, loved and died; and not for him were the perils, prizes and fascinations of a hero's career. He fought his battles within the walls of his soul- -we may note and enjoy them in his music. His outward state was not niggardly of incident though his inner life was richer, nourished as it was in the silence and the profound unrest of a being that irritably resented every intrusion.

  • Il Y a 200 Ans, Naissait Aurore Dupin
    Il y a 200 ans, naissait Aurore Dupin Françoise Vanhemelryck C’est en feuilletant le programme du Théâtre du Méridien pour la saison nouvelle que je découvris, en août dernier, que l’on s’apprêtait à fêter en 2004 le bicentenaire de la naissance de George Sand. Je n’y prêtai pas trop d’attention, George Sand ne figurant pas parmi mes auteurs préférés. Je n’avais lu d’elle que ses romans champêtres et Indiana. En préparant un voyage à Venise, je retombai sur son nom et je me mis à penser que ce n’était peut-être pas un hasard ou une simple coïncidence, mais un signe du destin ou même un appel (spirituel ou spiritiste) de celle que j’avais mal connue et méconnue jusque-là. Cette pensée m’intrigua et me poussa à mieux me documenter sur George Sand, son séjour à Venise et ses amours turbulentes avec Alfred de Musset dans la cité des doges. Je relus La Mare au Diable et La Petite Fadette et je fus conquise par la limpidité, la franchise à la fois gracieuse et rustique de ces textes. Après, je lus, pour la première fois, les œuvres autobiographiques de George Sand et sa correspondance avec Musset et j’acquis peu à peu la certitude que derrière son pseudonyme masculin se cachait une psychologie purement féminine, que George Sand n’était pas cette espèce d’hermaphro- dite ou transsexuelle littéraire et pas non plus cette dévoreuse d’hommes comme une certaine critique puritaine et un lectorat trop sévère et censeur nous l’ont fait croire si longtemps.
