Book Description
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.

Madame Roland
Author: Una Birch Pope-Hennessy
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780483072138
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 612
Book Description
Excerpt from Madame Roland: A Study in Revolution Sometimes there seems to be nothing in life at all save the putting out of effort in some way or other, and we have to hold firmly to the belief that to act with enthusiasm and faith is the one condition Of acting greatly. Life, as far as we know it, is action, is passion, and if a man does not share in the action or the passion of his time, he runs the peril of being judged not to have lived at all. The woman about whom this book has been written is distinguished by a determination to share in the passion of her day. She believed in the unexplainable worth and sure issue of effort, and she stood steadily on her course of unfaltering preparation for that public and political life to which she believed against all evidence that she might one day be called. For this people have called Madame Roland a prig, as if by slinging an idle epithet all interest in her could be for ever stilled. It does not matter what they call her, the fact remains that her life, priggish or no, unsympathetic or no, was a life of purpose and direction She was not particularly Witty or humorous, -people of purpose seldom are, - but she had a fund of gaiety and good temper which endeared her to a great many of her contempo raries. There was no insipidity about her, she led her own life absolutely, Wherever she was stationed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
