ТРИ ЖЕНСКИХ ВОЗРАСТА В "ИСТОРИИ МОЕЙ ЖИЗНИ" ЖОРЖ САНД

Abstrakt

The article focuses on how the category of age is interpreted in George Sand’s The History of my Life, how general and gender aspects are related in every phase of age triad “childhood – youth – old age” and author’s personal experience of maturation coincides with diachronic paradigm “daughter – mother – grandmother”. This corre-spondence helps the writer to investigate her own personal evolution ad absurdum. Synchronic and diachronic narrative levels stipulate George Sand’s interpretation of the conventional opposition “youth – old age” through two pairs of concepts: “youth – maturation” and “childhood – old age”.
