Autograph letter. SAND. Lettera sul romanzo Lélia. Autograph letter. SAND, George. 1804-1876. Lettera sul romanzo Lélia. Before 1836 ?Quant à ce livre, il en sera comme plaira à vous et à mes amis? Vous n?imaginez pas, j?espère, qu?après les complaisances istinctives pour la poésie mystique, je vais chercher la moralité de mon livre dans les institutions de la cour de Rome. Vous y verrez seulement qu?au milieu de cette fantaisie d?artiste qui me pousse au couvent, mes idées tendent à un rassérenement général, à l?amour d?une règle intelligente et à l?eternel spiritualisme sans lequel il n?est pas de poésie.? 8vo, 200x130 mm; 1 sheet with 25 lines and signature on the bottom; handwriting in italic type, black ink, text on the back. On verso authentic signature of Luigi Calamatta 1801 - 1868, Italian engraver, Sand's father-in-law, since his daughter Lina married Maurice, the writer's son. Good condition.
Important signed autograph letter, sent to an unknown recipient. The letter concerns the reworking of the novel Lélia, a lyric and symbolic work, part of the novels called "feminists" by George Sand The work was published in 1833 and later, profoundly changed and augmented, it was re-edited in 1839. In this letter the writer refers directly to the different ending she has in mind, and to the reasons that motivate it: in the new edition, in fact, Lélia, become abbess, will succeed in creating a harmonious society in a convent. On July 15, 1836 an extract of Lélia appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes accompanied by the facsimile of this letter.Cfr.
