Jacques Godechot

Jacques Léon Godechot (3 January 1907 – 24 August 1989) was a French historian of the French Revolution and a pioneer of Atlantic history. He was the Dean of the Faculty of Letters and human sciences at the University of Toulouse from 1961 to 1971.

Godechot was born in 1907 in Lunéville. He was appointed to the Faculty of Letters of Toulouse in 1945 and taught there until 1980.

As a frequent and varied contributor to the ''Annales Historiques de la Révolution Française'', he acted as "a mediator, an intermediary between readers of the journal and Anglo-Saxon and Italian historiography of the Revolution". His emphasis on the international dimension of the late-18th- and early-19th-century revolutions was crystallized in the concepts of Atlantic history and 'occidental revolution'. In 1955, Godechot collaborated with the Yale historian Robert Roswell Palmer to present a joint paper on 'the problem of Atlantic history' at the 10th International Congress of Historical Sciences in Rome.
