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.

This work covers Madame de Stael and is aimed at scholars and students of French literature.

French poetry and painting are inextricably connected; one cannot be understood without reference to the other. Alan Bowness explores the chain of personal contacts which underlie the evolution of modernist art and literature from 1850 to 1920, notably Manet's close friendship with Baudelaire and Mallarme, and Apollinaire's with Picasso.
