The Intimate Journal of George Sand ANNOTATION
The emotional, frank and open outpouring of the writer. Some critics consider her journal writing to be her most natural and expressive.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Intimate Journal binds together three collections of George Sand's writings: her journal to Alfred de Musset; the Piffoel journal, composed of conversations between her masculine and feminine selves; and appended to these, a scrapbook the dates of which overlap the two journals. The last compiltion includes personal letters, reflections and mementoes that were dear to this remarkable woman.
These selections from Sand's journals form an integrated whole and show Sand as woman, lover, mother, artist, politician, chatelaine and friend. Sand's journal writing is thought by many to be her most expressive and natural; here the artist's most complex and interesting character is revealed: George Sand herself.
