Jeanne Grall is a contemporary author of books on history.
She wrote in particular Girondins et Montagnard which deals with the French revolution. I read this book several years ago. Here is a translation of what I wrote about the book at that time:
This book gives some thickness to words that pupils find to the nausea in handbooks of history. Charlotte Corday leaves the famous painting and has parents, a childhood and a youth. One learns also that the hounded Girondins ran in the country as the resistant did one hundred fifty years later.
