Synopsis

This study covers the entire range of George Sand's writing career from 1831 to 1871 through close readings of 20 representative novels which characterize her 'romantic vision' or the way in which she used fiction to convey her sustaining passions and fundamental beliefs. In this overview of Sand's literary production, Professor Godwin-Jones offers a thoughtful and jargon-free explanation of Sand's ideas and her role in the evolution of the romantic movement in French literature. This book is highly recommended for the general reader as well as the specialist in romantic studies.
