About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 13 full-page plates by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, William Artaud and Théodore Géricault. A young wife married to a much older man discovers that the lover she runs to is no better, and that the only person who has ever loved her without wanting to own her is her cousin. Sand published it in 1832 under a man's name and became famous at twenty-seven; it is the first of her arguments that marriage as then constituted was a form of property. Thirteen plates by painters including Géricault and Corot show the death of Cleopatra, a woman accused of adultery, and a yellow fever epidemic, images of women judged and bodies claimed by law and history that answer the novel's argument about marriage as property.
