Summary

George Sand's "The Greatest Novels of George Sand" encapsulates the thematic richness and stylistic innovation that characterize her contributions to 19th-century literature. This collection delves deep into the intricacies of love, gender, and social structures, often set against the backdrop of rural France. Utilized through masterful narrative techniques, Sand's blending of realism and romanticism invites readers to explore the psychological and emotional landscapes of her characters, reflecting her own tumultuous life experiences. The collection resonates with the literary context of her time, challenging societal norms and advocating for women's rights, making her a pioneering figure in feminist literature. Born Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, George Sand was a revolutionary figure, both in her personal life and her literary endeavors. Her provocative lifestyle, including her romantic relationships and her outspoken views on the roles of women, provided fertile ground for her novels. Sand's commitment to social justice and her youthful encounters with political radicalism profoundly shaped her writing, allowing her to produce works that questioned the status quo and illuminated the human condition. Readers seeking a transformative literary experience will find in this collection a compelling exploration of enduring themes. Sand's ability to weave intricate plots with profound philosophical inquiries makes these novels not only a reflection of her time but also vital for contemporary discussions on gender and society. To immerse oneself in her work is to engage in a dialogue that transcends time, making this compilation an essential addition to any literary library.

    Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was born on 28th August 1814 in Dublin into a literary family with Huguenot, Irish and English roots.   
For a time he and his siblings were tutored but Le Fanu would often immerse himself in the books of his father’s library. 
In 1833 Le Fanu began his Law studies at Trinity College, Dublin and graduated in 1839. Although called to the bar he instead began a career in journalism.   
He was also writing. His first fiction story ‘The Ghost and the Bonesetter’ was published in 1838.  In 1843 came the novella ‘Spalatro: From the Notes of Fra Giacomo’, a hero with a particular necrophiliac passion for an undead blood-drinking beauty, a forerunner to his later female vampire ‘Carmilla’.  
In 1844 Le Fanu married Susanna Bennett with whom he had 4 children. The following year his first novel ‘The C'ock and Anchor’ was published. Works now flowed from his pen and with a rapid increase in family finances they moved, in 1851, to Merrion Square, Dublin, where he remained until his death.  
In 1858 Susanna died and Le Fanu became reclusive. It was during this period that he produced some of his best work.  Working only by candlelight he wrote through the night, burnishing his reputation as a major figure of 19th Century supernaturalism with many classics including; ‘Green Tea’, ‘Mr Justice Harbottle’, and ‘In a Glass Darkly’.  
Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu died in Merrion Square in his native Dublin on February 7th, 1873, at the age of 58.

Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography.

DIVORCE: The time is fast approaching when it will be necessary for the general citizen to form definite opinions upon proposals for probably quite extensive alterations of our present divorce laws, arising out of the recommendations of the recent Royal Commission on the subject. It may not be out of place, therefore, to run through some of the chief points that are likely to be raised, and to set out the main considerations affecting these issues.
