Abstract

The influence of the gothic novel on George Sand is no secret. She references her readings of gothic novelists such as Ann Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis on numerous occasions, and the gothic elements of Consuelo have frequently attracted critical attention. Marilyn Mallia’s study is, however, the first sustained exploration of Sand’s incorporation of gothic tropes in her novels, and in it she uncovers a far more substantial engagement on Sand’s part with the gothic than has been hitherto acknowledged. In particular, Mallia identifies three gothic tropes that prove especially productive to Sand’s aesthetic programme: the use of doubled heroines, gothic itineraries, and the gothic.
