Synopsis
Regarded as one of Sand's best novels, Lélia is an important document in the evolution of women's consciousness. Published in 1833, when Sand was 29, it stunned Victorians by advocating the same standard of morality for men and women and by suggesting that both the prostitute and the married woman were slaves to male desire. Sand also questioned monogamy, fidelity, and monastic celibacy. She later made an unsuccessful attempt to revise the book and to expunge its despair and skepticism.
Although Sand wrote copiously, until recently only a handful of her books were available in English. This first English translation of Lélia is an excellent rendering, capturing the raptures, the mysticism, and the nineteenth-century flavor ot its eternally fascinating subject.

Review
"Lélia is the story of woman's search for meaning in life, religious certainty, and sexual fulfillment... it is a strangely beautiful work, remarkable for its philosophcial depth and lyric intensity and for the insight it lends to the complex character of George Sand."
--New Directions for Women"Maria Espinosa's translation... is remarkable for coming very close to the resonant vocabulary and its extraordinary images."
--V.S. Pritchett "The New York Review of Books ""About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
