The Story of George Sand
What a heart of gold she had! What absence of every petty, mean, or false feeling! What a brave man she was, and what a good woman! (TURGENEV) One had to know her as I knew her to realise how much of the feminine there was in that great man. the immensity of tenderness there was in that genius. She will remain one of the splendours of France and unmatched in her glory.
(FLAUBERT)
Aurore Dupin. Baroness Dudevant - better known as George Sand - was undoubtedly the most colourful female figure of 19th-century France. She dressed like a man. smoked a pipe and wrote 50 books which many critics believe to be some of the finest and most original in French literature. She has been described as a nymphomaniac, a lesbian, a writer of genius, the Muse of the 1848 Revolution and the forerunner of Women's Liberation. In conversation with Derek Parker. Curtis Cate. author of a major new biography of George Sand. tells the story of Aurore Dupin and considers these descriptions.
