George Sand's Name Origin in a 19th Century Collaboration
The piece notes French novelist Leonard Jules Sandeau inspired the nom de guerre of Mme. Dudevant who became George Sand after a brief Paris collaboration on the novel Ose et Blanche in 1831. It also recalls Osman Pasha’s 142 day siege of Prevna, his defense against Russia, and his eventual capitulation amid heavy losses.
