A richly detailed biography, George Sand chronicles the extraordinary life of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin — the audacious 19th-century French novelist who defied convention at every turn. J. M. Scott presents the full arc of her remarkable story: from her aristocratic roots and tumultuous romances with figures such as Frédéric Chopin and Alfred de Musset, to her prolific literary output and fierce championing of social and feminist causes. With authority and narrative verve, the biography illustrates how Sand transformed herself into one of the most celebrated and controversial writers of her era, scandalising Parisian society by wearing men's clothing and living entirely on her own terms. This is an essential portrait of a woman who not only shaped French Romanticism but permanently redrew the boundaries of what a woman's life could look like.
