Abstract
As soon as she begins to write novels, George Sand distinguishes her works from something that critics run down: women's novelistic literature, read by despised readers (generally women), and considered insipid or incredible. To prevent critics from linking her to female writers, she keeps her male pseudonym, disowns her sentimental stories and write novels where she discredits the novelistic genre. For instance, Jacques (1834), based on sentimental stories written earlier, parodies the style and topics of women's epistolary literature. Also, it criticizes its own novelistic construction, opposes literature and reality, and blames social comedy. (In French) (DL)
