The first English translation of one of George Sand's major novels.

An astonishingly modern novel, George Sand's Valvèdre questions traditional Romantic representations of women and exposes the disastrous consequences such notions of femininity have for both male and female characters at a time when divorce was illegal. This first English translation by Françoise Massardier-Kenney shows Sand's control of style and her understanding of the major tensions of early modern France: the role of women in society, the nature of motherhood, the relations between science and art, and the nature of prejudice.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Sand

George Sand, pseudónimo de Aurore Dupin, baronesa de Dudevant (1804-1876), impôs-se como um dos maiores nomes da literatura francesa, criando uma vasta obra composta por 68 romances, e ainda textos políticos, peças de teatro, memórias e livros de viagens. Aos vinte e sete anos já era o escritor mais popular da Europa, ultrapassando a notoriedade de Victor Hugo e Balzac, que muito a admiravam. Conseguiu o raríssimo feito de ser simultaneamente popular e prestigiada, e foi a primeira mulher a conseguir sustentar-se através da escrita. Henry James elogiou-lhe o talento e o «grande estilo», Dostoievski traduziu-a e homenageou-a, e a sua obra continua a ser referida nos livros de autores contemporâneos como A. S. Byatt.
