Published in France in 1954, Roland Barthes's Michelet inspired a revival of interest in the great 19th century French historian. Neither a biography nor a critique, Michelet is Barthes's effort to give the reader a sense of the whole man.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"It is not only the mingling of codes in Michelet that Barthes claims as his own; it is also the opulence of Michelet's sensual language . . . that excess in expression visible when the author's pen loses itself in the athletic joy of writing." -- Helen Vendler, New York Review of Books
"No review can possibly do justice to the subtlety and economy of Barthes's presentation." -- John Clive, The New Republic
"Odd, perplexing, brilliant, weird, ruminative, daring, outrageous yet masterful, Roland Barthes's Michelet . . . anticipates the methods of the author in later studies. . . . Michelet in the end is re-created in the same terms that he himself applied to history." -- Robert Taylor, Boston Globe
