Georges Lefebvre


 

George Lefebvre (1874-1959) was a French historian, considered a leading authority on the French Revolution. Writing often from a viewpoint which he felt the peasant of the time would have held, he believed that all of history relates to the conditions of the working class, as manipulated by the upper class.
