Thanks to a peerless translation by Gretchen van Slyke, Martine Reid's acclaimed biography of Sand is now available in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on recent French and English biographies of Sand as well as her novels, plays, autobiographical texts, and correspondence, Reid creates the most complete portrait possible of a writer who was both celebrated and vilified. Reid contextualizes Sand within the literature of the nineteenth century, unfolds the meaning and importance of her chosen pen name, and pays careful attention to Sand's political, artistic, and scientific expressions and interests. The result is a candid, even-handed, and illuminating representation of a remarkable woman in remarkable times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its clear, flowing language and impeccable scholarship, this Ernest Montusès Award-winning biography of the author of \u003ci\u003eLa Petite Fadette\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Winter in Majorca\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to those specializing in Sand and nineteenth-century literature--and to readers everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penn State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969192673431,"sku":"9780271081069","price":3151.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780271081069.webp?v=1782920817","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/george-sand-9780271081069","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
