«Historiquement correct» is the historical essay by Jean Sévillia, published by Librairie Académique Perrin in paperback (455 pages, in French).
Essay denouncing the 'historically correct': judging the past with present-day values instead of understanding it. Sévillia analyzes wars of religion, anticlericalism, antisemitism, France in the 1940s and the Algerian War, and argues that context nuances established narratives.
The work originally appeared in 2003; this Tempus edition is from 2006 and its subtitle is «pour en finir avec le passé unique».
Aimed at readers interested in historiography, historical memory and French politics.
Jean Sévillia is a conservative French journalist and essayist. He is known for writings in Le Figaro Magazine. His defense of the Roman Catholic Church's role in history has made him popular from traditionalist and conservative organisations in France. He is critical of what he perceives to be left wing bias in the media that often influence popular beliefs on history.
