Edited by Lionel Gossman, this volume contains three programmatic
essays by Michelet. The first two are available here for the first
time in English translation. The third, the Preface to the 1869
edition of the Histoire de France, originally published in its
first English translation by Edward K. Kaplan in his Michelet's
Poetic Vision (1977), has been revised by the translator for this
volume. One of the greatest Romantic historians and immensely
popular during his lifetime, Jules Michelet (1798-1874) fell into
disfavour among the positivist historians who came after him and
who regarded his work with disdain as "literature." In the 1920s
and 30s, however, he began to be rediscovered and rehabilitated by
the members of the influential Annales school. The objects of
Michelet's interest-living conditions, popular mentalities, laws
and the arts, the historian's relation to the objects of his study,
no less than political history-have since come to occupy a central
place in modern historical research. A free online-only supplement
contains an essay on Michelet by John Stuart Mill from the
Edinburgh Review (January 1844) and several studies of Michelet by
Lionel Gossman.
