George Sand, whose real name was Baroness Amandine Aurore-Lucie Dupin Dedevant, was born in 1804 and became one of the most prominent writers of nineteenth-century France. Although today a large part of her fame centers on her life — her love affairs with Chopin, Musset, and Marie Dorval, wearing men's clothes, and smoking cigars — she was hailed as a major artist during her time.
Editor Zack Rogow was a co-winner of the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Award and the Bay Area Book Reviewers Award. He is the author of nine poetry collections.
