185976839Nohant Nohant-Vic 1859. Fine. Nohant Nohant-Vic 16 août 1859 13.50 x 20.90 cm 4 pages sur un double feuillet Autograph letter signed by George Sand addressed to Ernest Feydeau. Four pages written in blue ink on a double sheet bearing at the head of the first page the sender's blind stamp. This letter was published in the complete correspondence of George Sand established by Georges Lubin. Fine and lengthy letter discussing literature and friendship between writers. Initially a stockbroker and specialist in Antiquity Ernest Feydeau launched himself late into fiction. Anxious to occupy a literary space in which he did not feel justly appreciated he used his connections and maintained a regular epistolary relationship with illustrious correspondents such as Gustave Flaubert Sainte-Beuve and George Sand to whom he sent drafts of his novels and whose opinions he sought. This letter forms Sand's response after having just finished reading Daniel Feydeau's second novel. George Sand then at the height of her literary career describes herself thus: ""I am quite old enough to be your mother for I am 55 years old and I have good hands quite skillful but not beautiful at all. I have earned the right to no longer be coquettish I have been quite reproached for never having been so. I will tell you anything about myself that you wish."" As was her habit much solicited by her peers she delivers a very detailed critique of the text her colleague submits to her: ""I am not against sentences that jar where they need to jar but I am not for harmony being sacrificed to rhythm. Nor am I for the contrary. Understand me well I only blame what is too noticeable what reveals the technique. Do not touch the passages you speak of they are excellent. And in sum I will not insist furiously on the question of form in style seeing that if the qualities of yours should disappear with what sometimes seems to me a flaw I would be in despair at having pointed out the flaw."" Herself very close to Flaubert whom she nicknamed her ""leaden bottom"" Sand seems delighted that the two men know each other: ""I do not have time. But I will have time to receive you when you are free you must come with Flaubert who also has in me an enchanted reader and a wholehearted literary friend. I did not know he was your friend and I am pleased that he is."" The friendship goes so far that Sand soon brings the two writers together placing them on complete equal footing: ""It is no misfortune for you any more than for Flaubert to belong to the race of seers."" A form of solidarity then establishes itself in the face of critical adversity: ""All this is felt better than it can be said and that is why criticism loses its reason three-quarters of the time."" For criticism has had the misfortune of labeling Feydeau as it did with Flaubert a realist: ""People have taken it upon themselves to baptize your manner and his as realism. I do not know why; unless realism is something entirely different from what the first adherents attempted to explain to us. I suspect indeed that there is a way of envisaging the reality of things and beings which is great progress and you bring triumphant proof of it. But the name realism does not suit because art is a multiple infinite interpretation. It is the artist who creates reality within himself his own reality and not that of another. Two painters paint the portrait of the same person. Both create a work that represents the person if they are both masters. And yet the two paintings do not resemble each other. What has become of reality"" This long diatribe - a true manifesto - forms a powerful testimony to the repulsion of George Sand and Flaubert for theorists obsessed with the idea of classifying literature according to a ""system that . blinds"". unknown

Two pages written in black ink on a double sheet bearing at the head of the first page the sender's dry stamp. This letter was published in the complete correspondence of George Sand established by Georges Lubin. Fine letter written by George Sand a few months before her death and addressed to her lifelong friend Gustave Flaubert. The writer wishes to offer her friend a seat so he may attend the revival of her play Le Mariage de Victorine : ""Je t'écris en courant ce matin parce que je viens de recevoir de Mr Perrin avis de la 1ère représentation de la reprise du Mariage de Victorine une pièce de moi au théâtre français. Je n'ai ni le temps d'y aller ni l'envie de partir comme cela au pied levé mais j'aurais voulu y envoyer quelques amis et il ne m'offre pas une seule place. Je lui écris une lettre qu'il recevra demain et je le prie de t'envoyer au moins un orchestre."" ""I'm writing to you hurriedly this morning because I've just received notice from Mr Perrin of the first performance of the revival of Le Mariage de Victorine a play of mine at the Théâtre Français. I have neither the time to go nor the desire to leave like that at a moment's notice but I would have liked to send some friends and he doesn't offer me a single seat. I'm writing him a letter which he will receive tomorrow and I ask him to send you at least an orchestra seat.""

1838866321838. Fine. Sand publishes her response to Lerminier s. d. 23 février 1838 11 x 20.40 cm 1 page sur feuillet Autograph letter signed by George Sand addressed to François Buloz. One page in black ink on a single sheet. Fold marks sheet reinforced with paper on verso. Published in her correspondence ed. Georges Lubin vol. IV pp. 331-332. Exasperated by the attitude of the Revue des deux mondes of her friend Buloz George Sand decides to defend the progressive thinker Félicité Lammenais targeted by a scathing critique published in the review. She takes up her pen here and orders Buloz to publish her response article without changing a single line. Mon cher Buloz voici la lettre à M. Lerminier n'y changez rien. Relisez-en vous même et vous seul l'épreuve. Corrigez les fautes de typographie. Veuillez à la ponctuation et aux guillemets. Il va sans dire que les blancs de mon manuscrits sont le résultat de coupures et de transcriptions que j'ai faites et ne demandent que de simples alinéas. Bonjour et amitié George ""My dear Buloz here is the letter to M. Lerminier change nothing. Proofread it yourself and yourself alone. Correct the typographical errors. Mind the punctuation and quotation marks. It goes without saying that the blanks in my manuscript are the result of cuts and transcriptions I have made and require only simple paragraphs. Good day and friendship George"" This letter perfectly illustrates the stormy yet fruitful collaboration that united François Buloz and George Sand. The latter gave Sand for many years a platform and a means to live by her pen. She published in the Review a great number of masterpieces including Lettres d'un voyageur 1834-1836 Mauprat 1837 Spiridion 1839 Gabriel 1839 Mademoiselle La Quintinie 1863 Césanne Dietrich 1870. Through his mediation she also actively participated in the political debates of her time. In 1838 Buloz was the great orchestrator of an ideological duel when Sand ""decided to take on the critic Lerminier who had just made a very critical analysis of the Livre du peuple in the review. Buloz out of desire for publicity allowed his two collaborators to publicly exchange blows in the review. Through Lerminier and his superior tone the review then revealed its rather misogynistic vision of literature and philosophy: 'the time has come for you to give your philosophical opinions more consistency and scope because you are entering a new phase of life and talent. Inspiration and fantasy have raised you to a height where they would not suffice to maintain you. Draw now madam new strength from reflection and science'"" Marie-Eve Thérenty George Sand François Buloz et la Revue des Deux Mondes. Sand reacted immediately and sent her response article accompanied by this peremptory missive ordering Buloz to publish her text as it stood. Lamennais was very touched by her gesture: ""I shall always count among the happy circumstances of my life where I don't count many to have been defended by you. In publishing my last book I knew well that it would shock almost everyone legitimists juste-milieu Catholics even republicans those at least who want neither God nor liberty and their number is great and they have a terrible faith in themselves. I have hoped only in the people who do not make systems and who under the influence of primitive and imperishable human instincts judge by the heart and judge alone infallibly. Without them I don't know what would become of liberty on earth. M. Lerminier and many others imagine that I speak at random according to whatever idea of the moment occurs to me. They are mistaken"" Yves Chastagnaret George Sand Lerminier et le Livre du Peuple de Félicité Lamennais. Flying to the rescue of a defender of the people Sand writes this scathing missive at a key moment in her tumultuous relationship with Buloz. unknown
186376837Nohant Nohant-Vic 1863. Fine. Nohant Nohant-Vic 14 mars 1863 13.40 x 20.60 cm 3 pages sur un double feuillet Autograph letter signed by George Sand addressed to René Biémont. Three pages written in blue ink on a double sheet bearing at the head of the first page the blind stamp of Sand's initials. Envelope included. Folds inherent to mailing. This letter was published in the complete correspondence of George Sand established by Georges Lubin. Fine letter of congratulations addressed to René Biémont after sending his work Le Petit Fils d'Obermann: ""Your little book is very original and you show qualities of talent that will develop if you look ahead."" As an attentive reader much solicited by her young peers Sand develops her literary criticism: ""Obermann and his grandson the monk belong to the past. They are true and the timid Jean is well drawn. There is grandeur and truth in this exceptional type. But Constant d'Heurs is too passive to events. He should react against this powerless man and cure him or pity him more ."" Sententiously she thus concludes her letter: ""Do not complain of thankless work and accept it as a good thing three-quarters of life sacrificed to some duty makes the last quarter very strong and very alive. It is very good to be attached to poetry and thwarted in the possession of a beautiful dream. As soon as one can savor it without respite it fades or becomes troubled. I speak to you from experience. One is never happier and more inspired than when one believes one does not have time to be so."" Very fine testimony to the leading role that George Sand played on the literary scene of the Second Empire. unknown
186771232Nohant Nohant-Vic 1867. Fine. Nohant Nohant-Vic 21 décembre 1867 13.40 x 20.70 cm deux feuillets sous chemise et étui Autograph letter from George Sand to Gustave Flaubert dated December 21 1867 8 pages on two lined leaves. Published in Sand's Correspondance XX pp. 642-645. From one of the finest literary correspondences of the century this letter written on Christmas Eve 1867 is a sublime testament to the frank friendship between George Sand the old troubadour and Gustave Flaubert christened cul de plomb leaden ass after declining his invitation to Nohant to complete L'Éducation sentimentale. Despite their seventeen year-age gap opposing temperaments and divergent outlooks on life the reader is gripped by the tenderness and astonishing verve of George Sand's long confession to Flaubert. At the height of her literary fame and enjoying her theater in Nohant Sand talks at length about politics their separation their conception of the writer's work and life itself. In this stream-of-consciousness letter Sand naturally and freely sets down on paper eight pages of conversations with Flaubert who made only too rare and brief appearances in Nohant: But how I chat with you! Do you find all this amusing I'd like a letter to replace one of our suppers which I too miss and which would be so good here with you if you weren't a cul de plomb leaden ass who won't let yourself be dragged along to life for life's sake whereas Flaubert's motto then busy writing L'Éducation sentimentale was rather art for art's sake. In the end of 1867 Sand grieved the death of an almost brother François Rollinat which Sand appeased with letters to Flaubert and lively evenings at Nohant: This is how I've been living for the last 15 days since I stopped working . Ah'! . Ah! when you're on vacation work logic and reason seem like strange swings. Sand was quick to criticize him for working tirelessly in his robe the enemy of freedom while she was running up and down mountains and valleys from Cannes to Normandy even to Flaubert's own home which she had visited in September. On this occasion Sand had happily reread Salammbô where she picked up a few lines for her latest novel Mademoiselle Merquem. Their literary and virile friendship similar to Rollinat's defied the old guard of literati who declared the existence of a sincere affair between man and woman utterly impossible. Sand who has been described in turn as a lesbian a nymphomaniac and made famous for her resounding and varied love affairs began a long and intense correspondence with Flaubert for whom she was a mother and an old friend. She called herself in their letters old troubadour or old horse and no longer even considered herself a woman but a quasi-man recalling her youthful cross-dressing and formidable contempt for gender norms. To Flaubert had compared the female writers as Amazons denying their femininity: To better shoot with the bow they crushed their nipples Sand replied in this letter: I don't share your idea that you have to do away with the breast to shoot with the bow. I have a completely opposite belief for my own use which I think is good for many others probably for the majority. A warrior yes but a peaceful warrior Sand willingly adopted the customs of a world of misogynistic intellectuals while remaining true to herself: I believe that the artist should live in one's nature as much as possible. To the man who loves struggle war; to the man who loves women love; to the old man who like me loves nature travel and flowers rocks great landscapes children too family everything that moves everything that fights moral anemia she then adds. A fine evocation of her green period this passage marks the time of Sand's country novels when mellowed by the years she gave herself over entirely to contemplation to write François le Champi La Mare au diable and La Petite Fadette. But her love of nature didn't stop unknown
