Mirabeau the Demigod reviewed by W R H Trowbridge
The author contrasts Mirabeau the individual with the politician arguing the French reformer was a brilliant yet flawed figure. Trowbridge’s romantic biography is praised for literary value but judged weak as authentic history. The review notes Mirabeau's father warned against his son while the biographer ignores this view.
