First published in 1910. This volume is dedicated to Madame L. Landouzy with gratitude and affection
Alys Hallard translation
This book is not intended as a study of George Sand. It is merely a series of chapters touching on various aspects of her life and writings. My work will not be lost if the perusal of these pages should inspire one of the historians of our literature with the idea of devoting to the great novelist, to her genius and her influence, a work of this kind.
