A contemporary critic wrote that Spiridion was “the ardent preaching of a new religion,” and Sand herself repeatedly speaks of the “religion of the future.” Her most important works in this regard are The Countess of Rudolstadt and Spiridion. The model of human and social improvement was ecclesiastical and, if it implied the end of the ancient Church, it was to construct a new one, no less religious but free from false dogmas and fossilized rites. History had a meaning and led to a large and beautiful temple on whose pediment one could read the motto “Liberté, égalité, fraternité”.
