Indiana, George Sand's first solo novel, opens with the eponymous
heroine brooding and bored in her husband's French countryside
estate, far from her native Ile Bourbon (now RĂ©union). Written in
1832, the novel appeared during a period of French history marked
by revolution and regime change, civil unrest and labor concerns,
and slave revolts and the abolitionist movement, when women faced
rigid social constraints and had limited rights within the
institution of marriage. With this politically charged history
serving as a backdrop for the novel, Sand brings together
Romanticism, realism, and the idealism that would characterize her
work, presenting what was deemed by her contemporaries a faithful
and candid representation of nineteenth-century France. This volume
gathers pedagogical essays that will enhance the teaching of
Indiana and contribute to students' understanding and appreciation
of the novel. The first part gives an overview of editions and
translations of the novel and recommends useful background
readings. Contributors to the second part present various
approaches to the novel, focusing on four themes: modes of literary
narration, gender and feminism, slavery and colonialism, and
historical and political upheaval. Each essay offers a fresh
perspective on Indiana, suited not only to courses on French
Romanticism and realism but also to interdisciplinary discussions
of French colonial history or law.
