Etat : Poor. xii, 336 p. front., pl., ports. 22 cm. ; LCCN: 35-10719 ; OCLC: 1003026 ; LC: DC146.C8; Dewey: 920.7 ; "This seems a far cry from horror stories, particularly as it reveals the author in the role of sound scholar and thoughtful biographer. His subject is Charlotte de Corday; his period, the French Revolution. Charlotte de Corday was a country girl, who would have been a nun had the Revolution not caught her: in its trammels. A Girondist -- a fanatic -- she nursed the growing hatred for the tyrant . Marat, and killed him in his bath. Shearing has done an extraordinary job -- presented a vigorous picture of the period, and a succession of brilliant pen portraits of leading spirits."--Kirkus reviews ; purple cloth with gold lettering ; no dustjacket ; spine sunned ; slight knock ; repair to hinges ; reading copy ; POOR.
