Internally an excellent copy with original wraps bound in; occasional light foxing and small paper loss to margins of last two leaves neither affecting text. Octavo collates complete with 31 pages. An exceptionally rare copy of Sand's first work on social justice of which only 500 were printed. This copy is the only one known to have come onto the market with none in the modern auction records and the only other held at La Bibliotheque Nationale de France.<br/><br/>Having dedicated the first decade of her career toward writing novels about women's internal and social struggles George Sand made her first move into activism with Fanchette. Shocked by the story of a young girl with mental illness who had been refused refuge in a convent and was soon after discovered pregnant and arrested for begging Sand opted to expose the events in a set of letters printed in the Revue Independente. Following a wave of public outcry "Sand decided to have the letters printed in brochure form with the plan that half the copies would be distributed free to the workers of La Chatre the others sold for the benefit of Fanchette. Five hundred copies of this brochure of thirty-one pages were printed and circulated. The Fanchette case therefore revealing as it did an appalling lack of sympathy for the poor and misfortunate convinced George Sand that an effort should be made to awaken the citizens of La Chatre to their duties as members of a community" Bowes. This publication marked a new phase of Sand's writing career which more directly emphasized social justice particularly for vulnerable women. A rare and important work.

15620Sand George. Pseudonym of Amandine Aurore Dupin Baronne Dudevant was a prolific writer and early feminist. Handwritten Autograph Letter Signed December 29 1858 while she was working on her book Elle et Lui. In French. 1 page on a larger folded sheet measuring approximately 8"x5" inches. <br/><br/>Sand was an internationally famous novelist and essayist whose work promoted the strength of women. She was also known for her many love affairs including with the composer Chopin. In this Autograph Letter Signed in 1858 while working on her famous book "She and He" Sand writes in French in part: ".I don't have time to see you tonight and I await the letter of Montigny who will tell me when he will come. But I want to assure you about your manuscript which I have reread and of which I am very happy." Signed "G. Sand" . She adds a seven line post script "inquiring news about the little Tittine" then she adds "the little peri-Gois is saved. I kiss Eugenie and all of your family. Happy New Year to all." Reputed as an intelligent writer and an apt editor Sand was highly involved in the literary community and this letter is a fine example of her collaboration in exchanging manuscripts with her contemporaries. Elle et Lui would become Sand's vehicle for recounting her tumultuous affair with Alfred de Musset. Letter is on her Personal embossed stationary.

15351George Sand pseudonym of Amandine Aurore Dupin Baronne Dudevant was a prolific writer and early feminist. 2 page Autograph Letter Signed in French dated 4 June 1863. No place. To close friend and politician Emile de Girardin.<br/><br/>Both Sand and the recipient of her letter Emile de Girardin were politically progressive siding with the working class and poor and advocating for women's rights. Sand was an ardent supporter of the 1848 Revolution in which both Sand and Girardin held positions as members of government. However she was appalled by the violence of the Paris Commune and openly criticized it. The famed French feminist author sends Girardin her article and praises his role in "the liberty and progress" that has transpired following the Parisian elections. Reflecting on the "laws of repression" she notes that the people who resist progress are "generally unbecoming and loose imbeciles." A fascinating letter documenting Sand's honest views on human progress and the hurdles that need to be overcome in attaining it. Letter is in very good condition with blue ink clear and dark save for some of Sand's original smudges typical of her hasty pen. Light streak across left of front page. A political and inspiring letter from the early feminist author. unknown books
