I understand, but we're gonna carry on because that's what we do. We
Let's talk about somebody, that's been on my list for ever
which is your sound and the popular image of george sound is sort of this sexy artie.
Still early, eighteen, hundreds, paris,
entirely off base.
But she was above all else. A writer of incredible output and was in
her time. Incredibly famous her behaviour
personal style were almost has talked about her novels and all of these,
There's combined made her into a figure that was admired by many despised
I saw em, but it seems like fast
ancient, with her was almost universal and
We should mention your sound was involved romantically with a lot of people,
She was kind of the cereal monogamist shewed can about
one pair more to another, and that was
big influence on her work and she wrote a lots of different works. We will not list them all, because
we said her output was astonishing. We also
What list all of her peer, more's, relevant writing titles, but
No we're giving you a brief version, and I still think it's pretty full of of
saucy adventure in writing. Yes, so if we, if we omit your favorite book
Your favorite romance tat person, but they're just allow
Then don't worry Chopin is in here, which is what everyone is saying that right now right
I cannot leave us your parent. No, I think not.
actually how how she wound up moving. Finally, up to the top of your list, as we had been brainstorming for a thing about people described as muse, is an
where's, the yeah for a whole separate thing, and I was a clash spent on my list forever,
although I had already started in episode on her, you know how I'll do that I'll start in episode right a few
dread to one thousand words and then be like I'm going to move on to something else for a little while and then that episode sort of weights in its germination stage. Until I come back around on it,
in terms of what we are actually talking about today will start at the beginning, as we often do a month,
he lucille our or do path was born on July. First of eighteen, o four in paris and her family and friends normally called her a roar. Her father, Maurice Japan, was an officer in the french army serving under napoleon and her mother was Sophie Della board. Who was a bird sellers daughter
bird selling as a profession, just kind of delights me! A little bit uses Sophie emory s had been together for several years before error was born, but they only got married a month before her breath,
the two of them already had children, both with other people and together, maurice refuse to acknowledge the sun from a prior relationship that was equally chatty. Rome, although maurice his mother, made sure that the boy and his own mother were provided for and moved them into a house in the family property sophie had a daughter from a previous relationship named Carolyn
the board and the children that sophie and Maria had together before aurora, had all died in infancy. So there were a lot of members of the family, but also in terms of the two of them together or was the first arriving.
Correct, and just before a wrong turn for her parents had another child.
This time a sun named our goose louie,
and our goose louie was born in madrid, as Sophie had travelled to spain to be with maurice. That was where napoleon had stationed here
and then they all went back to france shortly after a roars birthday, there was a trip that took them through rural france during,
it'll famine and it was something-
the images of that trip really stuck with a roar vividly for years. The baby august.
We died on september, eighth of eighteen, oh wait that was just shy of three months old maurice had an accident and died eight days
later after falling off a horse and the not long after that sophie had to relinquish custody of aurore to her grandmother, because you just wasn't able to provide for her
or then spent most of her childhood in no aren't in central france, and this
your family home and she spent a lot of time there on the family estate with her grandmother, so
We did not leave her daughters life, though, even though she had relinquish custody. She still would spend
I meant no want at the chateau each summer and a roar would also sometimes travel to paris for visits with her mother is well. So aurora spent her formative years in this delicate rural environment of no on and that's
We have to have informed a lot of her writing. She was too
earned by a man named John francois discharge as a child. That was the same person who had educated her father and he was something of an eccentric. So she got a little haphazard sort of an education. It probably wouldn't qualify as a formal education. In any sense of the phrase.
She also had lessons alongside her half brother, although was unclear to the children exactly what their relationship was to each other for quite some time, yeah there
beating about
for us, while their shouts his
involvement in her life is sometimes glossed over in this weird sort of way about.
Weird education, she guy red one thing that suggested that he started.
dressing. Her in boys closed because I just made more sense to him to have a pupil that was dressed,
The boys Boise was only used to educating boys, I dont know
there's any actual value and that information or fact to it, but it is pretty widely accepted
that whatever education she got from him was a little bit kooky it.
and ass, she reached her early teenage years or our started as many kids do terrible
Her grandmother was very old fashioned and she expected ladylike behavior, and that was simply not in aurora nature. So the child started
in her grandmother that was, she wanted to do, was going to paris and live with her mother feel like this
the tale as old as time right like yeah you're, not my real mom, I'm going to go where so. I can be me not so much yeah. So there's some speculation that aurora mother Sophie may have supported herself with sex work when she was a teenager. After her parents had both died and it seems that grandmother.
at this moment to tell aurora about her mothers alleged profession. In the midst of this rebellion,
Zimbabwe is a way to try to his shame or scare her into obedience.
and the end result of all this conflict, because
are still was not gonna be happy. Staying at home was that of the ages.
her team, she was sent
the conference in paris to live with the english august any and sisters and shifting
from country life to being immersed wholly in
Religious environment in the city had a very profound effect on the teenager. She became deeply,
interested in mysticism during this time
though she seemed very, very happy at the convent and
considered becoming and then herself. That was a little too far.
For what her grandmother had a mind and her grandmother brought her back to know on just a couple of years later, when she was seventeen aurora inherited the family estate. After her grandmother died, Sophie came back to retreat for teenage daughter, brought her back to paris
but at that point roar was really not interested in answering to her mother. So she got married because
I thought that was going to offer her some more independence. This isn't it
your story that I feel it comes up in
all kinds of modern tales enabling your sound did this before anybody else. I'm sure there were other people that did it before her by
she's married to a man named casimir duties wrong on september, seventeenth, eighteen, twenty two
and the couple were married in paris, but they moved to no one to settle down.
Do divorce was nine years older than a roar? He was the son of a bitch,
wherein who was born out of wedlock. But he was acknowledged by
father. So in mary,
In him, a roar became the baron s duty of all. The couple had a choice:
in june, following their wedding, the sun they named maurice and for the next year. They travelled eventually settling in paris at the end of eighteen. Twenty four they kept travelling
great deal, though, including going back to know, ought for extended visits.
really, a kind of seems like a roar, was trying to make the best out of this marriage but over time
she grew restless and unsatisfied in her life would do divorce and she started to it
a signs of what we would probably categorizes. Depression today,
kashmir was a poor match for her for a number of reasons, a roar
It was a devout reader and the stories that she read made her long for more than her domestic life.
Kashmir was not that he was,
so much into the life of the mind, and he too
the defined solace with other romantic interests that he found less complicated than his wife, including their housemaids.
and this kind of seems like one of those cases where a couple with an age gap gets married because initially the older partner see
school to the younger partner, but as the younger partner matures it turns out that
ro beyond that older partner, because she was pretty dumb with him within a few years.
In eighteen, twenty five they were travelling in the pyrenees and aurora metal.
judge named jean Pierre australian de says, and the two of them.
Immediately attracted to one another, but he was engaged. He said that he found his fiance beautiful, but dull and aurora, who was smart and insightful, was just fascinating to him
The two of them exchanged love letters over the next five years and what's often described as a passionate but platonic love. Although there is debates about whether the platonic part is real
True yeah. We don't know this expense
and of having such an intense connection to someone made it a button
clear to her, or that her marriage by comparison would never off.
Her the same kind of excitement or be very fulfilling
and she told casimir about her affection for two says and that they needed
figure out some sort of way to make their household livable in eighteen. Twenty six, a man named, Stefan as I saw the grass on yet reentered aurora's life, and he had been a tutor of hers earlier right
but when the two of them became re acquainted, this intense attraction between them lead to a physical relationship. He was probably the father of a roars. Daughter celebs, who was born in september,
or of eighteen. Twenty eight in the year after her daughter was born, a roar began writing in earnest. She, pending
travel, memoir lama and that's the godmother during,
time as well as his dwell
a veil which a story of a dreamer that particular because never finished in the summer of eighteen, thirty
The roar met another man, that's when seven years younger than she was, he would really catalyze a significant life change that the then twenty six year old aurora had really been longing for. This was jewels sundew, who was an aspiring writer and the two of them soon became romantically involved. Ivy league that phrase the two of them soon became romantically of
It can just be repeated. So many times throughout this episode, this is a really significant turning point, though for aurora, so we are going to pause here for a quick sponsor break before we get into how her life changed

in early eighteen, thirty one a roar move to paris was, you will send down, leaving behind her husband and her home
made it arrangement with kashmir. Regarding this move, though, that arrangement was not arrived at in a particularly amicable fashion, the dude
a household had as a roar became more and more restless, become a place of persistent strife, husband and wife
argued constantly and they only ever seem to be happy in relationships with people outside the marriage. So
in eighteen, thirty one. The decision was made that a roar would spend half of each year in paris switching out with life.
No. On every three months
enduring auroras times in paris. The children were split up so her toddler
but are so long, would stay and no long with casimir and marie
Their son was cared for by a tutor aurora,
started to more seriously focus on writing in paris. Now writing under the pseudonym, Jules sonde, or sometimes just J song. That work was published in le figaro, which is a periodical run by henri la to show who would become one of ORR's closest friends, la touche and you'll, sometimes see his name is della too. She basically asked aurora to write these satirical pieces, a freelancer and that marked the beginning of her professional career. As a writer there's an ongoing debate about these pieces, they are generally believed to be collaborations, but
aurora and jewels sendero, but that's unclear about exactly how much of them contributed yeah how much either of them wrote of any of those pieces will probably be debated for it.
And this is also the period of her life when a roar began wearing men's, we're
and she would write of this shift in her attire later quote. I,
sentry box coat made of rough gray clause with trout,
hers and waistcoat to match, with a grey hat and a huge
that of woollen material. I looked exactly like a first year student, so this was scandalous to some people, but it's also more important to note that it was flat out illegal
in paris we're supposed to get a permit to wear man's clothing. That was a law that had been issued in eighteen hundred. If a woman could prove that she needed to dress and men's where, for medical reasons, she could get up,
to do it, but aurora and a handful of other women did it without a permanent. They didn't try to get a permit.
They wore whatever they wanted without much in the way of real consequences. That law was actually still on the books in paris, not really enforced, though until twenty thirteen yeah. If you look back at our-
it was in two thousand and thirteen they're like. Finally, women can wear pants with their writing is a joke cause. Of course, people had been wearing pants forever.
and this was a time when it seemed that error was truly defining the woman that she wanted to be and she was establishing her unique identity.
She wasn't necessarily wearing men's clues to cause a stir. She found the more practical and more comfortable than wearing dresses.
but she did also enjoy seeing the different way she was treated when she was wearing men's, where her figure was
not especially curvy, so she was sometimes miss
you can for a man
with something which she seemed quite enjoy.
equally, when she could reveal to the confused observer that, in fact she was a woman, she wrote a first novel called indiana at the end of eighteen, thirty, one that was published in may of eighteen, thirty, two under her new pen name
was your son. Eventually, she grew tired of jewels sunday. She broke off their relationship and moved into a new apartment near by her daughter, salons. We ve been with
Yet I had some launch was a little bit older than her her toddler age and she would have needed more constant attention, so it worked
Fine indiana is not surprisingly a story about a woman dissatisfied with her marriage. She long
four passion and adoration, and in that way
ass. She put her faith in the wrong man asked boiler,
This is one of those classic troops where the right man was.
Front of her the whole time and the two
do eventually end up together,
this novel was an instant success. This is when aurora became famous and became publicly known as george son, so we're gonna change over to address
her by that name the initially she chose a pen name because she wanted people to appreciate the writing, rather than marvel at the fact that a woman had written it. But soon it was really common knowledge that is written by a woman and she just kind of world with it
I have to wonder if her like constant love of revealing like in fact, I am not a student, but a woman didn't help you no kind of disease.
any anonymity she had been hoping for. Indiana was
we followed by another novel valentin in november of that same year, and at that point georgia's kind of the it writer in paris.
so keep in mind that this is a time when novels
we're sort of equivalent to film or television today in terms of their prominences, entertainment so
she became something of an overnight celebrity following indiana publication. The valentine of this novel is the stories heroin and she's. An aristocrat who falls in love with a poor
in addition to the theme of true love that can never be actual eyes, because a class disparity this book also serves as a feminist critique of the poor standards of education for women. Valentine is prepared only to be
wife and nothing more, and even if she were to end up with her farmer love, she would not be prepared well for the rigours of that kind of a life in early
ten thirty three, your sound had a brief romantic relationship with a woman, and this was the actress
a door val. This was
hetty time for sound, newly famous and free from the domestic life that she had fled. She really had her pick.
suitors eighteen
but history was also the year that George published her third novel laelia and not long after she began her relationship with door. Vall song
that fellow writer Alfred the museum who also became her lover
with whom she had an on again off again romance that would run
will any fiction lately-
gave readers a heroine. Who was a lot like saunter self. When I caught a class who did not care about societal convention, the titular character finds happiness, neither with her many love affairs nor in being celibate. When laelia tells her quarters and sister of this whole situation, the sister suggests that Laelia should become a cortisone herself.
This catalyzed supply that involves a poet who is in love with laelia, whose life falls apart after she tries to seduce him and then betrays him, have not read this book. It sounds very complicated to me.
Laelia was also banned by the press. Yeah
and again,
in some ways she is pulling from her own life,
her various relationships, that it is not a surprise that it.
And when she is met
The museum with him.
Had a very volatile relationship.
that she was also writing about the sort of complicated romantic matters. The end
eighteen, thirty, three and the begins,
Eighteen, thirty four were very chaotic and fraught joe,
and we say, decided to go away to italy, but that
Europe turned very sour, and this really sounds like a telling develop lot. Things went
Fleetly arrive first when george got dysentery, museum,
then begin having episodes of delirium he's it turned out. He had typhoid fever them
george. You became an affair with the italian doctor who came to treat me. His name was Louis
You pay jello and, when we say recovered enough to return to, paris saw
and decided that she would stay behind in venice, with her new beloved doktor three months after essays. Return to paris is worse, also felt ass, though she could go back to france
Take your only to see your children, so in june of eighteen, thirty four, she left italy for paris. She brought the doktor with her
not long after getting their swords split up with him to return to museum, although the reunion lasted less than a month. I certain
would not recommended as a piece of of historic,
full information, but if you have ever seen or have
I've seen the movie impromptu, which is about your sound, in which the incomparable Judy Davis pleased george, merry
be putting in place. Museum Emmy is spectacular
you get a sense of all of their levels of drama when the two of them are together on screen,
throughout all of this drama, though, in her personal life,
Solved was writing in publishing sheep.
A series of stories in the literary magazine review did do moaned during her turbulent eighteen, thirty, four
including leone Leoni and jacques, and at the beginning
eighteen, thirty five sound and was a reunited one last time, but there really,
the ship was completely over by march of that year, postman
de george began seeing a lawyer in no named Louis Michel. The next big event ensures sounds. Life was finally legally separating herself from casimir duty of all. This was a significantly
Oh battle, her lawyer, paramour, could not continue their relationship. He was married. He did not wish to disrupt his life with a long term affair, but he did manage georgia's legal separation before they split up getting significant job
meant wins for her in July. Eighteen, thirty, six, the separation of those not a divorce, was finally settled. The two key aspects,
of the legal decision that her lawyer louis Michel, had fought for where that a george got custody of children and be
her chateau and property in no long reverted entirely back to her
Her son, maurice, would have been thirteen at this point, and Solange was seven on the verge of turning eight
and once she married to devolve, he had become the controller of the family finances so
had been given an allowance out of what was rightfully her own inheritance. So that was what she was seeking to to reverse at this point,
even after the separation, some did provide her husband with an annual income around this time. Son met previous podcast subject: Franz Liszt and his paramour Marie Doug,
france and worry travelled to no want to visit signed twice in eighteen, thirty, seven, and it was through this friendship that george met the man she's most often associated with who we reference back at the top of the show predict chopin. The friendship with marie, in particular, would disintegrate in time it was
we'll disasters that she'd been gossiping about her and generally scheming. Against her son. Eventually wrote quote: your understanding of friendship is different than mine. You just won't give up being a beautiful and witty woman who slaughters and so
She has all the others, and while sound was instantly taken wish apparent when she met him largely because of his musical skill
that interest was not initially reciprocated in ITALY,
that he wrote to family Chopin wrote something about her repels me, but
by may of eighteen, thirty eight, the two were lovers: they stated
Therefore nine years, and both of them were incredibly productive.
During their romance. It's kind of considered like their golden period, for both of them as creators. Their relationship was perplexing to their friends. At first chopin was quiet and reserved with delicate health. He was the
polar opposite of george who lived well. However, she wished and was unafraid of just about everything they were whispers and their social circle that the match might take. A toll on Chopin was perceived to be pretty fragile and during their first winter together she took him along with her two children to new york
stay in a monastery, the weather and the meagre accommodations. There were really rough on the composer. He coughed up blood throughout this whole stay after that debate.
Will they returned to know what, where george fond over frederick and nursed her back to health,
in addition to chopin songs, for

Team? Forty, your son tried her hand at a different kind of writing, which was theater and mr Mann go so well. Her play cosimo, which was also titled la hum, done more hate in love

Of the review did did moaned over her new novel horace, the periodic

See. You had an increasing interest and political matters at this point, and so your son was inspired in eighteen, forty, four to start another periodical, while la review independent, was an outlet for her romantic literary work. Her second paper look clearer, which is the scout.
