Excerpt: ... days without writing to me, which threw me into tha greatest anxiety. The abbe, questioned anew, refused to testify, calmly and briefly, as before. My judges, seeing that the information promised by Patience did not arrive, hastened the proceedings in review, and by this repetition of their precipitancy proved anew their animosity against me. The appointed day arrived. I was devoured with anxiety. Arthur had written to me to hope, in a style as laconic as that of Patience. My lawyer had not succeeded in getting any favorable testimony of importance; I saw plainly that he was beginning to believe me guilty. His only hope was to obtain delays. XXVII. '1 ""HE audience was still more numerous than at the first ■*■ trial. The guard was forced at the doors of the court-house, and the crowd overran the premises clear up to the windows of the manor of Jacques Coeur, which is now the hotel of the city. I found myself very much agitated on this second occasion, although I had strength and pride enough not to let it appear. I felt an interest, now, in the success of my cause, and the hopes I had conceived did not seem likely to be realized. I experienced an indescribable uneasiness, a concentrated fury, a sort of hate against these men who would not open their eyes to my innocence, and against God, who seemed to have abandoned me. In this violent state 1 had to make such an effort to appear calm, that I scarcely noticed what occurred. I recovered presence of mind enough, at my second examination, to answer in the same terms as at the first one. Then a funereal curtain seemed to stretch before me, a ring of iron encircled my forehead, I felt an icy cold sensation in the sockets of my eyes, I saw nothing, and only heard vague and incomprehensible sounds....

"I was just going to do it, monsieur; but I saw a woman meet him. At that moment I said to myself: 'Perhaps it's monsieur and madame, who have taken a fancy to walk a bit before daybreak;' and I went back to bed. But this morning I heard Lelievre talking about a thief whose tracks he had seen in the park, and I said to myself: 'There's something under this."

Description

George Sand was the most famous—and most scandalous—woman in nineteenth-century France. As a writer, she was enormously prolific—she wrote more than ninety novels, thirty-five plays, and thousands of pages of autobiography. She inspired writers as diverse as Flaubert and Proust but is often remembered for her love affairs with such figures as Musset and Chopin. Her affair with Chopin is the most notorious: their nine-year relationship ended in 1847 when Sand began to suspect that the composer had fallen in love with her daughter, Solange.

Drawing on archival sources—much of it neglected by Sand’s previous biographers—Elizabeth Harlan examines the intertwined issues of maternity and identity that haunt Sand’s writing and defined her life. Why was Sand’s relationship with her daughter so fraught? Why was a woman so famous for her personal and literary audacity ultimately so conflicted about women’s liberation? In an effort to solve the riddle of Sand’s identity, Harlan examines a latticework of lives that include Solange, Sand’s mother and grandmother, and Sand’s own protagonists, whose stories amplify her own.
