Author
Madame Roland is documented in Fuller’s letters, books, and published essays (1830–1847). 2 distinct works are named, most often in The Letters of Margaret Fuller, Vol. I: 1817-1838, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “analyzed”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →

Inferred Fuller names Roland but not the work — “All biographies (Scott's, Goethes, Korner's, Madame Roland's- and some dozens more excepted)” — so the identification as Memoirs is the editor’s and is not confirmed by this passage alone.

Inferred No work is named. Fuller refers to Madame Roland — “considered her and the French Madame Roland as the best specimens hitherto offered of women of a Roman strength and singleness of mind” — and the passage does not identify a specific writing.
