Summary
Dominique Pagani mentions Michelet mainly as an example of Romanticism applied to history. For him, Romanticism is not limited to literature and music: it also touches historical writing, and Michelet's "breath" is the proof of it12. From this angle, he places him among the figures of Romantic historiography, alongside Chateaubriand, and credits him with a role in the revival of medieval studies3. A second point recurs often, from 2021 to 2024: Michelet calls the eighteenth century of the Enlightenment the "great century," whereas other historians reserve that name for the seventeenth. Pagani stresses this choice, which sheds light on his own reading of the Enlightenment45. Finally, he notes that the history of the Revolution taught by Michelet is neglected today6.

Michelet was influenced by Giambattista Vico, particularly by his emphasis on the role of ordinary people and their customs in shaping historical narratives, which contrasted with the traditional focus on political and military elites.
