Life

Jules Sandeau spent his childhood in Aubusson at the Creuze. In Bourges, he attended the Lyceum in 1828 and went to Paris to study law. Soon outweighed his literary interests, and he joined the circle of romantics to Victor Hugo. He was the lover of seven years older Baroness Dudevant - the later George Sand, with whom he 1831 five -volume novel Rose et Blanche published. Their common pseudonym here was Jules Sand. When Madame Dudevant later separated from Sandeau, she used the pen name on sand instead of Jules she added the male first name George. Sandeau then wrote a series of novels, which are usually first appeared in Le Figaro and in the Revue des Deux Mondes. His most famous work is the 1848 published novel The Lady of Laseiglière. In the fifties, he turned to the stage and worked some of his novels to drama. Since 1854 he was curator of the Bibliothèque Mazarine, 1858 he was admitted as a successor of the writer Charles Brifaut to the Académie française. After the tragic death of his only son in 1873, he no longer published and withdrew from public life.
