This study aims to compare their literary worlds between Sand and Flaubert through their letter writings. The introduction examined the validity recognizing letter writings as a literary genre on the basis of various literary theories. Through their works and discourses dealt in their letter writings, the main body analysed their writing esthetics, reciprocal influences, and their views on the duty of arts and writers in a comparing way. After examining their various differentness or contrasts, the conclusion confirmed their unifying elements enabling their correspondence for a long time. Finally, all the discourses dealt in the main body could be included among three functions of letter writings, such as confessional writing, philosophical discussion, and meta-text synthetically.
