Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Girl of the Multitude The character of the extraordinary girl of the people, known as Eglée, has been hastily limned by the Comte de Beugnot in his Memoirs. The portrait, imperfect as it is, has a value for the student of human nature apart from its association with an event that must be forever memorable. Its inconsistency, its perplexity, its subversion of formula, attest the completeness of that momentous thing called the Great French Revolution, for the protest of Anarchy against itself is the most striking evidence of an anarchic state of things. The organised attack on convention however terrible, if successful, becomes in turn a convention, but it is in the vortex of the whirlpool that the true chaos of the ocean is to be found. The present narrative is in no sense an attempt to excuse the character of the girl whom the Comte de Beugnot met in the Conciergerie; at the most it is an example of the growth of seed in stony ground.
