Urbain, the Marquis de Villemer is the younger brother of Duke d’Aleria, and is eager to clear his family’s debt to ensure his mother’s happiness. The siblings have drastically different views on the purpose of money and marriage. A marchioness is eager to marry off her two sons: Duke d’Aleria and Urbain, the Marquis de Villemer. The former is the eldest, a charming playboy whose gambling addiction has saddled the family with debt. Urbain is the younger, more responsible son, who’s willing to sacrifice his happiness for his mother’s security. The men interact with several women, including Caroline, a secretary and companion to their mother. She is pulled into a strange world that hinges on marriage arrangements and social capital. The Marquis de Villemer is a nineteenth century novel that embodies popular elements of that time. It’s fueled by class disparity, mismatched romance and financial strain. It also highlights family legacy and the desire to keep up appearances. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Marquis de Villmer is both modern and readable.

Excerpt from Marquis De Villemer Yes, Madame, very much; but I shall abstain from it, because in that matter you make no requirement. The sincerity of my answer appeared to astonish the Marchioness. Perhaps I ought not to have spoken without restraint, as it is my habit to do. She took a little time to collect herself.

'The Marquis de Villemer' is a novel written by George Sand, one of the most popular writers in Europe in her lifetime, being more renowned than both Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac in England in the 1830s and 1840s. Though the book is entitled The Marquis de Villemer, it is primarily told from the perspective of the Marchioness, Caroline, who was the daughter of a gentleman of Lower Brittany, settled in the neighborhood of Blois, and of a Mlle de Grajac, a native of Velay. Caroline hardly knew her mother. Madame de Saint-Geneix died the third year of her marriage after giving birth to Camille, having exacted a promise from Justine Lanion to spend several years with the motherless children.
