Synopsis

George Sand’s fictionalised account of her notorious affair with the poet Alfred de Musset caused a sensation on its publication two years after his death, in 1859. 'Elle et Lui' is not only unlike any of her other novels, but also the most autobiographical work of one of the great female trailblazers in French literature. It also prompted a volley of claim and counter-claim: two more novels rapidly appeared in the following months, 'Lui et Elle', by Musset’s brother, defending his reputation; and 'This was the Man ( Lui)' by Louise Colet, Flaubert’s former mistress and briefly Musset’s. Then the journalists and commentators of the day joined in, with 'Eux', by Gaston Lavalley, and 'Eux et Elles', by Adolphe de Lescure, satirising the whole sordid business.

One of the most popular writers in Europe in her lifetime being more renowned than both Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac in England in the 1830s and 1840s, Sand is recognised as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era. In 1880 her children sold the rights to her literary estate for 125,000 Francs ( equivalent to 36 kg worth of gold, or 1.3 million dollars in 2015).
