George Sand
to a baroness.
Poet Charles Baudelaire was a contemporary critic of George Sand: "She is stupid, heavy and
garrulous (lobisev). Her ideas on morals have the same depth of judgment and delicacy of
feeling as those of janitresses and kept women.... The fact that there are men who could
become enamoured of this slut is indeed a proof of the abasement of the men of this
generation."
Relationships
Sand had affairs with Jules Sandeau (1831), Prosper Mérimée, Alfred de Musset, Louis-
Chrystosome Michel, Pierre-François Bocage, Félicien Mallefille and Frédéric Chopin. Later
in life, she corresponded (kirjavahetuses olema) with Gustave Flaubert with who they became
close friends.
She was engaged in an intimate friendship with actress Marie Dorval, which led to
widespread but unconfirmed rumors of a lesbian affair.
There is a Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa in Majorca, where she spent the winter of
