Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)George Sand is the author of two historical studies on the Bohemian (Hussite) Wars, and two novels set largely in Bohemia, all four works written between 1842–1844. Czech intellectuals of that time reacted quickly and positively to Sand’s attention to Czech history, characters and landscapes. Two women writers, in particular, did not spare their praise for Sand’s genius: the Rottová sisters, known under the pen names Karolina Světlá (1830–1899) and Sofie Podlipská (1833–1897). Podlipská’s admiration culminated in her translation into Czech of Sand’s two ‘Czech’ novels, as well as in a long essay devoted to her. Her sister, meanwhile, refered several times to Sand in her memoirs. It was Světlá who was the source of the apocryphal story that Sand made an incognito visit to Bohemia shortly before writing her ‘Czech’ novels. This article examines the impact exerted by the French novelist on the Rottová sisters’ literary production.
