Deeply sorry to learn of the death of Natalie Zemon Davis, the most brilliant early modern historian of our time, influence on every one of us, and my teacher and mentor for my whole life as a historian. She was extraordinary.
So sorry.
Her THE RETURN OF MARTIN GUERRE is a masterpiece of historical writing. In my own work on September 11, I referenced her brilliant work on the warping of narratives to suit the times into which they continue.
Grieving with you, Anne. xox
I am so sorry for your loss.
