Water Imagery in George Sand's Work (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527515796)

This collection of essays highlights the importance of water imagery in the work of the renowned nineteenth-century French female author George Sand. It provides a complex picture of the polyvalent presence of water in Sandâ (TM)s work that encompasses life and death imagery, ecocriticism, fluid kinship, homosocial ties, and artistic creativity.

Drawing on Gaston Bachelardâ (TM)s premise that the substance of water carries deep meaning, the articles in this volume explore the element of water and its symbolism in a selection of George Sandâ (TM)s writings and art work, from her most famous novels (Indiana, LÃ(c)lia, and Consuelo) to her later works, short stories, plays, and autobiographical writing (Teverino, Jean de la Roche, Les MaÃ(R)tres sonneurs, La Reine Coax, Lâ (TM)Homme de neige, Le Drac, Un Hiver à Majorque, Marianne), and dendrite paintings.
