Autorenporträt
Jules Michelet (1798–1874) was a French historian recognized for his monumental work on the history of France and his unique literary style that intertwined scholarly research with a passionate narrative voice. Born in Paris to a family with modest means, Michelet rose to become a leading figure in the intellectual milieu of 19th-century France. His education and talents earned him a position at the famed Lycée Louis-le-Grand, followed by a series of academic posts that culminated in his role as a professor of history at the Collège de France. Renowned for his innovative approach to historical writing, Michelet sought to bring history to life by emphasizing the experiences of ordinary people rather than focusing solely on great leaders or events. His most celebrated works include 'Histoire de France' and 'Histoire de la Révolution française', which remain classics in the field of historical scholarship. In 'La Sorcière: The Witch of the Middle Ages', Michelet delved into the dark and complex history of witchcraft, presenting it as a form of protest against feudal oppression and the Catholic Church. His exploration of the societal and psychological facets of witchcraft phenomena showcased his profound empathy and narrative flair. Michelet's writings continue to be studied by historians and literary scholars for their vivid portrayal of the human condition and their contribution to the development of historical methodology.
