This study is a reflection on the major historians of
nineteenth-century France, and shows that, near the end of the
century, a major change of perspective occurred. The historians
discussed in the opening sections of the book looked to the past
for guidance, while modern historians from the twentieth-century
onwards regard the past as a closed book which the historian has to
open. Guizot is the hero of the first section of the book; in part
two, Comtesse d'Agoult (Daniel Stern) is specifically mentioned,
partly because she, who wrote a splendid history of the revolution
of 1848, tends to be ignored as a historian while Michelet and
Tocqueville are still discussed. The historians in part three are
transitional figures who politically and morally still belong to
the nineteenth-century, but whose histories show the new approach
to the past.
