Ce livre raconte la vie de George Sand (Aurore Dupin), célèbre femme de lettre française. "Tout ce qui dans Paris était tant soit peu amateur de littérature et de poésie sabordait dans les rues en se disant : « Avez-vous lu Indiana ? (de George Sand). Lisez donc Indiana ! » A la curiosité de lire le livre succéda bientôt la curiosité de connaître lauteur.

Tout ce quils rapportèrent de leur enquête, ce fut que le pseudonyme de George Sand cachait une femme encore très jeune, dallures bizarres, qui demeurait dans une maison du quai Saint-Michel, shabillait souvent en homme et fréquentait les cabinets de lecture et les cafés du quartier latin. Qui était-elle ? doù venait-elle ? Elle ne paraissait pas disposée à le dire, et il nétait guère facile de le savoir. Ce peu de renseignements était de nature à piquer la curiosité plutôt quà la satisfaire ; mais, à quelque conjecture quon pût se livrer, personne assurément ne se serait avisé de supposer que dans les veines de cette jeune femme coulait le sang dun des plus illustres guerriers du XVIIIe siècle, quelle comptait de proches pareils au sein de la société la plus élégante, et quelle sétait en quelque sorte échappée dun milieu aristocratique et provincial pour venir à Paris avec sa fille tenter la fortune et vivre de sa plume..."

Joseph was born on May 27, 1809 in Paris, France. His grandfather had been grand louvetier of France; his father was Charles Louis Bernard de Cléron, comte d'Haussonville; his mother's name was Jeanne Marie Falcoz de la Blache (1772-1853).
Joseph had filled a series of diplomatic appointments at Brussels, Turin and Naples before he entered the chamber of deputies in 1842 for Provins. Under the Second Empire, he published a liberal anti-imperial paper at Brussels, Le Bulletin français, and in 1863 he actively supported the candidature of Prévost Paradol. He was elected to the Académie française in 1869, in recognition of his historical writings, Histoire de la politique extérieure du gouvernement français de 1830 à 1848 (2 vols. , 1850), Histoire de la réunion de la Lorraine à la France (5 vols. , 1854-1859), L'église romaine et le premier empire 1800-1814 (5 vols. , 1864-1879). In 1870 he published a pamphlet directed against the Prussian treatment of France, La France et la Prusse devant l'Europe, the sale of which was prohibited in Belgium at the request of King Wilhelm of Prussia. He was the president of an association formed to provide new homes in Algeria for the inhabitants of Alsace-Lorraine who elected to retain their French nationality. In 1878 he was made a life-senator, in which capacity he allied himself with the Right Centre in defence of the religious associations against the anti-clericals. He died in Paris on 28 May 1884.
