George Sand was undoubtedly a free-spirited woman. In the 19th century, she succeeded in embodying a previously unheard-of figure: that of the intellectual woman and artist. She made her mark on her era through the turbulence of her love life, certainly, but above all through her fight against societal prejudices, the progressive political views she defended with passion, the voice of women she championed, the wealth of her correspondence and literary works. She herself said that she had lived many lives. Daniel CLAUSTRE will present this writer in three parts: 1. The Birth of a Writer (1832–1839): the great women’s novels 2. Music: ever-present in her life and work (1840–1848): 3-An artist: autobiography and art (1849–1876): ---- Biography Daniel CLAUSTRE is a retired Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature. Specialisms: 19th-century literature, travel literature. Consultant to the Ministry of Education of the United Arab Emirates (until 2019).
