George Sand [from the Paris Correspondent of the N. Y. Times]

"George Sand [from the Paris Correspondent of the N. Y. Times]." Saturday Press. 23 Oct. 1858: 4.
Type: 
newspaper
Genre: 
commentary
Abstract: 

The piece contains a description of an average day in the life of author George Sand. Despite allegations of hedonism and bisexuality, Sand is represented as doing the things expected of an upper-class woman. She gardens and abstains from alcohol, save wine at dessert. Her only vice is smoking, as Ms. Sand smokes frequently until she finishes with her literary labor around 6 a.m.
