Elle et lui by George Sand
Elle et Lui, by George Sand (1859). A novel based on the author’s relations twenty-five years before, in 1834, with Alfred de Musset, whose death occurred in 1857. As the story was one to which there could be no reply by the person most concerned, an indignant brother, Paul de Musset, wrote ‘Lui et Elle’ to alter the lights on the picture. At the entrance of the woman known in literature as George Sand upon the bohemian freedom in Paris, she shared her life with Jules Sandeau, and first used the pen-name Jules Sand, when he and she worked together and brought out a novel entitled ‘Rose et Blanche.’ Enabled shortly after to get a publisher for ‘Indiana,’ which was wholly her own work, she changed her pen-name to George Sand. But Sandeau and she did not continue together. Alfred de Musset and she entered upon a relationship of life and literary labor which took them to Italy at the end of 1833, gave them a short experience of harmony in 1834, but came to an end by estrangement between them in 1835. Her side of this estrangement is reflected in ‘Elle et Lui,’ and his in Paul de Musset’s ‘Lui et Elle.’
