People and Places is a delightful collection of 22 articles and reviews written by Richard Cobb over the past ten years. The selections-- many appearing here for the first time--include recollections of old university friends, essays on authors and historians such as Pierre Loti, Raymond Queneau, Georges Lefebyre, Georges Simenon, and Albert-Marius Soboul, and colorful, evocative pieces on places such as Paris, Bayeux, Brussels, and Aberystwyth.


Richard Charles Cobb CBE (20 May 1917 – 15 January 1996) was a British historian and essayist, and professor at the University of Oxford. He was the author of numerous influential works about the history of France, particularly the French Revolution. Cobb meticulously researched the Revolutionary era from a ground-level view sometimes described as `history from below`.

Cobb is best known for his multi-volume work The People`s Armies (1961), a massive study of the composition and mentality of the Revolution`s civilian armed forces. He was a prolific writer of essays from which he fashioned numerous book-length collections about France and its people. Cobb also found much inspiration from his own life, and he composed a multitude of autobiographical writings and personal reflections. Much of his writing went unpublished in his lifetime, and several anthologies were assembled from it by other scholars after his death.
