Dostoevsky called George Sand 'one of us, a Russian idealist of the 1840 generation', and The Miller of Angibault (1845) is Sand's 'arch-socialist' novel, according to the writer herself. But it is a rural socialism which makes the novel unique. Rejected by its original publisher as too violent an attack on property, The Miller of Angibault actually satirizes the utopian ideals of Paris reformers who try to put their naive plans into action among the country folk of Sand's native Berry. The novel reflects both the ebullient political movements of its period and the despairing conviction that the Revolution of 1789 had changed nothing. Yet it is also a love story, charged with Sand's self-effacing humour and filled with gentle lyricism.

"Yes, my profession, in that case, would be one of the most elegant!" said the miller, with a smile of quick intelligence. "Grain is the noblest of plants; bread the purest of food. My function might well deserve some esteem, and on holidays a crown of wheat-cars and bluebells might be wreathed around poor Grand, -Louise, to whom no one pays any attention now; but what would you have? In these days of ours, as M. Bricolin says, I am only a mercenary in his employ, and he says of me; 'A man like him think of mv daughter! A wretch who grinds the grain, when it is I who sow the sepo and possess the earth!' A fine difference, nevertheless! My hands are cleaner than his are with turning over manure; that is all. So now, my boy, the work is done, let us make haste with the soup. I will warrant you will think it better than in the morning, though it should be ten times as sa
One of the most notable novelists of the Romantic era, Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, best known by her pen name George Sand, achieved fame for her ‘rustic’ novels, drawing inspiration from her lifelong love of the countryside and sympathy for the poor. The familiar theme of her work was love transcending the obstacles of convention and class, all set against the backdrop of her beloved Berry countryside. She was one of the most popular writers in Europe in her lifetime, being more renowned than both Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac in England in the mid-nineteenth century.
