Vivian Kogan examines the poetics of Jules Michelet's
self-portraiture as it intersects with the nation and history.
History exists because someone tells the story. In Michelet's
unique staging and performance of the past, the way the story is
told is the story. Long before Charles de Gaulle, Michelet asserted
that he "was" France. His self-representation as the "I" of the
nation and the embodiment of history ("moi-histoire") takes form as
a rhetorical personification that shapes the historian's writing.
Offering a new multidisciplinary perspective, Kogan both exposes
Michelet's vision of France, his grand narrative, and demystifies
that narrative in the analysis of Michelet's final text, "History
of the Nineteenth Century".
