	George Sand - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		George Sand, who was a firm believer in the doctrine of heredity, devotes a whole volume of her autobiography (Histoire de ma vie, 1857 seq.) to the elaboration of this strange pedigree.
		George Sand not only forgave the elopement and hushed up the scandal by a private marriage, but she settled the young couple in Paris and made over to them nearly one-half of her available property.
		George Sand by her birth and bringing-up was half a peasant herself, in M. Faguet's phrase, "un paysan qui savait parler." She had got to know the heart of the peasant - his superstitions, his suspiciousness and low cunning, no less than his shrewdness, his sturdy independence and his strong domestic attachments.

	The role of Nature in George Sand’s La Mare au diable
		This description of the worker could be seen as Sand’s attempt to sensitize metropolitan France to the extreme alienation of the poor, the gap between the social classes, and to the fact that the ideals of the Revolution needed to address the question of social inequity.
		Sand transforms the worker as the object of the bourgeois’ gaze in Holbein’s engravings into an object of pity, and lays the responsibility for the peasant’s future on the educated: “Et le rêve d’une existence douce, libre, poétique et laborieuse pour l’homme des champs, n’est pas si difficile à concevoir” (37, my emphasis).
		Through this novel Sand turns the tables by letting the worker sensitize the intellectual to the need for man to be considerate of environment in which he lives, and therefore to the continued depletion of natural resources that characterizes the modern era.

		George Sand's Indiana dramatizes and explores a wide variety of concerns in the nineteenth century with a brilliance one rarely finds in a first novel: Arranged marriages, what it means to be a Creole, colonialism and plantation profiteering, slavery, the beginnings of the deterioration of Old Europe, and the rise of the businessman.
