Books by Graham Robb

Graham Robb is a British historian and biographer who has written on Victor Hugo, Rimbaud, Balzac, and the ancient Celts. The Discovery of France won the Duff Cooper Prize and the Royal Geographical Society's Geographical Award in 2008. His subsequent books include The Ancient Paths, which investigates Celtic geographic knowledge, and Parisians, a narrative history of the city. He lives in France and writes with equal command of French and English sources. His background as a literary biographer gives his historical writing an unusually close attention to voice, place, and the texture of individual lives within large historical forces.
