More about the book
The volume features three significant essays by Jules Michelet, with two newly translated into English. It highlights Michelet's unique approach to history, focusing on living conditions, popular mentalities, and the arts, which contrasts with the political history favored by later positivist historians. Once overlooked, Michelet's work gained renewed attention in the 20th century, particularly from the Annales school. Additionally, a free online supplement includes an essay by John Stuart Mill and studies by Lionel Gossman, enriching the understanding of Michelet's impact on historical research.
