Romain Rolland. The man and His work This book, "Romain Rolland The man and His work", by Stefan Zweig, Eden Paul, Cedar Paul, is a replication of a book originally published before 1921. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
Cedar Paul, née Gertrude Mary Davenport (1880 – 18 March 1972) was a singer, author, translator and journalist.
Gertrude Davenport came from a musical family: she was the granddaughter of the composer George Alexander Macfarren and the daughter of the composer Francis William Davenport (1847–1925). She was educated at convent schools in Belgium, France, Italy and England, and studied music in Germany.
After Eden Paul's death in 1944, Cedar Paul published only a small number of translations under her own name. A. J. P. Taylor, who had read the Pauls' work as a teenager, observed that the pair were no longer much remembered fifty years later.
