A landmark work in intellectual and cultural history, Michelet, Historian: Rebirth and Romanticism in Nineteenth-Century France chronicles the life and legacy of Jules Michelet, one of France's most celebrated and passionate historians. Arthur Mitzman presents a richly layered portrait of Michelet's intellectual evolution, arguing that his historiographical genius was inseparable from the Romantic currents and personal upheavals that defined nineteenth-century French society. Drawing on psychological and social analysis, Mitzman illustrates how Michelet's deeply personal approach to history transformed the discipline, infusing it with vivid narrative energy and moral urgency. The work details the complex interplay between Michelet's private struggles and his sweeping public vision of France's national identity and revolutionary spirit. Published by Yale University Press, this authoritative study remains essential reading for scholars of European history, Romanticism, and the history of ideas.
