Valvedre

"George Sand's Valvedre 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 Francoise Massardier-Kennery 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."--BOOK JACKET.Sand, George is the author of 'Valvedre ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780791470602 and ISBN 0791470601.
