Michelet and the French Revolution : The Zaharoff Lecture for 1989-90

Omtale

In the bicentenary celebrations of the French Revolution Michelet was strangely neglected. This lecture examines the manner in which Michelet approached the Revolution and created such mammoth works as "Histoire de France" (24 volumes) and "Histoire de la Revolution" (7 volumes), and considers this part of the work of one who has often been thought of as the Revolution's greatest historian.
