Retrace le contexte de la genèse et de l'écriture de l'oeuvre balzacienne : les souvenirs de ses lieux de vie (le village de Passy), la correspondance de l'écrivain ...
The nineteenth-century novelist, George Sand, is most famous today for her tumultuous love life and trouser-wearing days in Paris, but she achieved major commercial and critical success in her day and has gradually made her way back into the literary canon.
