Sinopsis

Excerpt from Life of Madame Roland

It is not probable that much that is material will be added to What is' now known. To the labours of M. Claud Perroud, the latest editor of her Memoirs and letters, supplemented by copious notes and appendices, any fixture biographer must be largely indebted. His researches appear to have been practically exhaustive, and from the data he supplies, as well as from the testimony of contemporaries, it is possible to gain a clear View Of the woman she was - generous, courageous, warm-hearted, arrogant, and self-occupied. Of that woman, her great gifts and powers, her faults and her weaknesses, and the charm she exercised over those brought into contact with her, I have here endeavoured to give a picture, adding only so much of the history of her times as may be necessary to throw her figure into relief and to define the place she filled with regard to it.
