Mauprat (1837) is the romantic tale of a "wild" man civilized by the woman he loves. Deeply engaged with Rousseau's pedagogical treatise Emile, and with contemporary debate concerning inherited and acquired traits and tendencies, Mauprat is an expression of Sand's utopian vision of a relationship governed by free choice and equality.
