George Sand, injustement oubliée et dénigrée et pourtant pour reprendre les mots de V Hugo la plus grande de son époque, et peut-être même de tous les temps. Elle a eu toutes les audaces publiques et privées, s'habiller en garçon, fumer, dénoncer l'aliénation du mariage, affirmer les droits de l'amour passion, croire au génie du peuple, écrire selon son coeur. Sa devise était Liberté – égalité solidarité. Elle a prêté sa voix aux humbles. Elle a cru au pouvoir de l'art, à la mission sociale de la littérature. Elle a adoré la nature, détesté le culte du profit, une des premières à dénoncer l'esclavage des femmes. Nous étudierons Histoire de ma vie (Quarto Gallimard) oeuvre vibrante couvrant l'histoire du XIXe siècle, et ses écrits, Politique et polémique, Cours en Français.
