Description

RARE FIRST EDITION of this novel, which follows on from Consuelo .

Published in 1842-1844 in the Independent magazine which George Sand had just founded with the socialist and republican philosopher Pierre Leroux, this vast collection of novels is now considered to be one of the high points of her work of fiction.

"An adventure novel and a historical novel, it is at the same time a love story, a social novel, a female initiation novel, and a great novel about music that questions the relationship between learned art and popular art, sacred art and secular art, and the role of the artist in society." (Consuelo readings - The Countess of Rudolstadt by George SandMichèle Hecquet and Christine Planté)

A charming copy, well bound in the 19th century with its covers.
