36 George Sand
George Sand (pseudonym of Aurore Dupin, Baroness Dudevant, 1804-1876), a celebrated French author, was long the centre of a circle of belle-lettrists and musicians, including Liszt and Chopin. In the 1830s she became a republican and subsequently a socialist, as is clear from novels such as Le Compagnon du Tour de France (1841), Consuelo (1842-1843), and La Comtesse de Rudolstadt (1843), which appeared as serials in the Revue indépendante. In 1844 she and Leroux founded l’Éclaireur de l’Indre and in 1845 La Revue sociale.
