Romantic idealism in George Sand's ''country'' novels
SOCHORKOVÁ, Kristýna
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the work of George Sand, an important French writer of the 19th century. The aim of the thesis is to fathom the writer's rural novels and to determinate the role of idealized elements in these novels. The thesis contains a theoretical and an analytical section. The theoretical section briefly introduces the historical and literary context of the Romantic movement in France and, subsequently, mentions George Sand's biography and literary output. The analytical section consists of analysis of Sand's rural novels (The Devil's Pool, The Country Waif, Little Fadette and Les Maîtres Sonneurs) with emphasis on identifying idealized elements. The analysis focuses on characteristics of main characters and the rural setting where George Sand strove to portray an image of an ideal human being. A summary of all four analyses follows and pursues interconnected themes in her rural novels.
