Seven Strings of the Lyre Or the Romantic Life of George Sand by Elizabeth W. Schermerhorn is a biographical account of the life of French writer George Sand. The book explores Sand's unconventional and scandalous life, including her numerous love affairs, her cross-dressing, and her work as a writer and political activist. Schermerhorn delves into Sand's relationships with notable figures such as Chopin, Musset, and Balzac, and provides insight into the cultural and political climate of 19th century France. The title Seven Strings of the Lyre refers to Sand's belief that there were seven different aspects to a person's personality, which she likened to the seven strings of a lyre. Schermerhorn's book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of France's most intriguing and controversial writers.1927. Amandine-Aurore-Lucile Dudevant wrote under the pen name of George Sand. Known for being unconventional and a champion for women, Sand wrote not only novels, but for the theater and autobiographical accounts of her life. The story of her life is contained in her letters, novels and prefaces. She was the frankest, sincerest and least egotistical of women, but could not write a line without revealing herself. The selection and grouping of these revelations and the attempt to place them on a clear and vivid background is the aim of this biographer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
