Et, tout en parlant de la République que nous rêvons et de celle que nous subissons, nous étions arrivés à l’endroit du chemin ombragé où le serpolet invite au repos. – Te souviens-tu, me dit-il, que nous passions ici, il y a un an, et que nous nous y sommes arrêtés tout un soir ? Car c’est ici que tu me racontas l’histoire du Champi, et que je te conseillai de l’écrire dans le style familier dont tu t’étais servi avec moi. – Et que j’imitais de la manière de notre Chanvreur. Je m’en souviens, et il me semble que, depuis ce jour-là, nous avons vécu dix ans. – Et pourtant la nature n’a pas changé, reprit 5 mon ami : la nuit est toujours pure, les étoiles brillent toujours, le thym sauvage sent toujours bon. -
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. -

H-France Review Volume 18 (2018) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 18 (June 2018), No. 133 Manon Mathias, Vision in the Novels of George Sand. 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. -

It largely details the events of her life, especially her adolescent and early 20’s, with a specific focus on how the people and events that occurred during those times affected Dupin’s sense of independence and general deviance from the social customs of 1800s France. I also discuss the impact the writings of George Sand had on the people and literature of 19th century France and beyond concerning the portrayal of women and the concept of Idealist writing. -
L'element Realiste Dans Les Romans De George Sand
THE RICE INSTITUTE L*ELEMENT BEALISTE DANS LES ROMANS DE GEORGE SAND by JOSEPH RITAS CRESPO €, A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Romance Languages Houston, Texas June 1952 118 S17355 INTRODUCTION -1- INTRODPCTIOM- L’oeuvre de George Sand se presente sous des formes aiverses qu»il semble difficile a concilier. D*une part, dans ses premiers romans il y a une exal¬ tation, un lyrisme intense, une litterature ardente qui refle'te la vie, les aventures et les reves tres romantiques de la romaneiere. D*autre part, elle nous offre un second groupe de romans dans lesquels elle semble s’oublier* et aborde des questions sociales et des preoccupations que ne sont pas les siennes, mais celles de son epoque. Vient en suite un groupe de ro¬ mans dans lesquels on ne retrouve aucun lyrisme person¬ nel ni meme le reflet des theories sociales eontempo- raines. Dans ce troisieme groupe on se trouve en pre¬ sence d»une atmosphere calrte aont 1 ’humble et paisible realite serait monotone, sG£Hen*etait depeinte avee tant d»art et tant d’amour.

Sobre Algunas Traducciones De Valentine, De George Sand
Sobre algunas traducciones de Valentine, de George Sand M . C a r m e Fig u e r o l a , U n iv e r sit a t d e Lleida En el repertorio de traducciones elaborado por Montesinos constan tres versiones de Valentine de George Sand. Dos de ellas se publican en 1837, corren a cargo de Eugenio de Ochoa y Francisco Altés, y son editadas, respectivamente, por I. Sancha en Madrid y por Pife rrer en Barcelona. La tercera ve la luz un año después, realizada por Pedro Reynés Sola y publicada por Oliva también en la ciudad condal. De las tres nos referiremos a la última y a la de Ochoa, de la cual sabemos Que existieron reediciones, como la de 1887, publica da por la madrileña El Cosmos Editorial.1 AunQue fuera del período de nuestro análisis, nos parece significativo el hecho de Que se pro duzca una nueva edición de la novela medio siglo después. Confir maría así la fortuna considerable de George Sand en España, pese a la opinión mayormente adversa de la crítica española, a menudo, como subraya Jean-René Aymes (1997: 243-262), más centrada en su persona Que en la calidad de su obra. La suerte de la escritora francesa en la Península se inicia en 1836 con la primera traducción de Leone Leoni. El mundo editorial español apuesta por la Que en ese momento es la última novela pu blicada por Aurore Dupin, autora cuyo nombre ha ganado ya la fama en Francia, sobre todo desde Que en 1832 hicieran su apari ción Indiana y su “hermana menor” (Wingard 1987: 71), Valentine. -

Valentine de George Sand : histoire d’une femme abandonnée à son sort M. Carme Figuerola Universitat de Lleida [email protected] Rebut: 28 octubre 2010 Acceptat: 10 gener 2011 Resum Valentine de George Sand: història d’una dona abandonada al seu destí Sense mostrar pretensions feministes, George Sand palesa una forta preocupació pel progrés de la dona. A Valentine l’autora es pregunta pels problemes morals i socials que comporta la sexualitat femenina a la vegada que presenta diferents formes d’experimentar-la: l’heroïna, una dona pura, s’oposa a la seva germana Louise, víctima d’una sexualitat culpable. La nostra anàlisi determinarà com, a causa d’una educació descuidada, aquest últim personatge esdevé involuntàriament una mena d’alcavota. Amb la seva actitud desencadena un terbolí moral de múltiples conseqüències donat que el capgirament sentimental que provoca suposa un fort sotrac a l’estructura d’una societat encara anquilosada sota els pilars de l’Antic Règim. Mots clau George Sand, dona, educació, sexualitat. Résumé Valentine de George Sand : histoire d’une femme abandonnée à son sort Sans toutefois appartenir au milieu féministe, la préoccupation de George Sand pour le progrès des femmes ainsi que le souci éducatif de l’écrivain sont bien connus. Dans Valentine l’auteure s’interroge sur les problèmes moraux et sociaux que pose la sexualité féminine. Ainsi dépeint-elle de différentes formes de l’éprouver : à la femme pure qu’est l’héroïne, Sand oppose sa soeur Louise victime d’une sexualité coupable. Notre analyse visera à préciser comment, par Femme et littérature populaire (2012): 87-102. -
„Realizm Profetyczny”: Emancypacyjna Poetyka Powieści George Sand1
WIELOGŁOS Pismo Wydziału Polonistyki UJ 4 (42) 2019, s. 1–25 doi:10.4467/2084395XWI.19.022.11604 www.ejournals.eu/Wieloglos http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4207-414X Katarzyna Nadana-Sokołowska Instytut Badań Literackich PAN „Realizm profetyczny”: emancypacyjna poetyka powieści George Sand1 Abstract “Prophetic Realism”: Emancipatory Poetics of George Sand’s Novels The article recalls George Sand as a writer whose works, especially those of the 1830s and 1840s, inspired the development of a democratic European society. It shows how Sand’s involvement in the democratisation of post-revolutionary France is intertwined with the poetics of her prose. The author introduces the term “not-entirely-realistic” to describe Sand’s writing, which at the same time consciously uses and transcends the poetics of contemporary realism, introducing into the novel the idealisation of chosen characters and fabulous or idyllic motifs in the creation of the world. On the example of selected works, the article discusses common features of typical Sandian protagonists. They are at the same time idealised (noble, selfless, generous, compassionate, and helpful) and idealists themselves, who dream of a better, more equitable social world, and believe that social commitment is consistent with the true message of the Gospel. The article also demonstrates how idyllic space in Sand’s fiction becomes a utopian sphere in which people from different social strata meet and interact as equals.

The Devil's Pool and Other Stories
Introductionc The Devil’s Pool (La Mare au diable) has always been George Sand’s most popular work. Scholars and specialists may have their own preferences; but with the general public, this book has always been the favorite. It is her Gigi, her Ethan Frome, her Pride and Prejudice. It is one of the few Sand works that continued to be read during the long drought when most of her books were neglected, and at the present day it retains its supremacy. At the time of writing, 117 editions of works by George Sand are available in France. No fewer than fifteen of them are editions of La Mare au diable, and one of those is the overall Sand bestseller. This popularity is not hard to explain. No other work by George Sand contains so many of its author’s characteristic merits packed into such a short space. The Devil’s Pool occupies a central position in her output, both chronologically and thematically. It belongs to the middle years of her long career; it is early enough to have ties with her first novels, it is advanced enough to contain anticipations of those still to come, yet it is also firmly grounded in the concerns and interests of its own era. Here is George Sand the critic of conventional marriage and other established institu- tions. Here is George Sand the regional writer, the sharp-eyed observer of distinctive local customs. Here is the political George Sand, the opponent of injustice, the advocate of the underprivi- leged. Here is the George Sand of fantasy, fairy tale, and night- mare. -

She was born at Paris on July I, 1804, and spent most of her childhood with her aristocratic grandmother at Nohant, a country house in Berry, her education being conducted after the doctrines of Rousseau by the ex-abbé Deschatres. For three years she was an inmate of a convent, where she experienced a mystical conversion; and after her grandmother’s death she married a country squire, Casimir Dudevant, who was incapable of intellectual sympathy with her and from whom she was estranged some time after the birth of her son and daughter. In 1831, Mme. Dudevant cut loose with her husband’s consent and went to live in Paris. -

The widespread use of the epithet "phallocentric" to qualify conceptual systems which place the phallus and the values it represents in a hegemonic position implicitly recognizes that sexual morphology informs the most apparently disembodied theories. In the past few years I have begun to explore the ways in which feminist modes of reading might be grounded in representations of the female body. -

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.
