Abstract

Using popular writings about George Sand's "château" in Nohant published by American writersEdith Wharton and Henry James as case study, this article argues for the important role played bycelebrity publications in increasing the public's awareness of the cultural importance of writer-houses, a particularly complex memorial subset of the house-museum. Wharton's visit to Sand'shome also draws attention to the dangers inherent in exhibits highlighting the domestic life ofwomen.
