Does One Need to be a Man to be a Great Man ?

Résumé

Drawing on The Prince (Machiavelli in Le Prince (Il Principe ou De Principatibus, 1532). Œuvres complètes, Gallimard, Paris, 1952), this essay ponders the relationship between history and biography and underlines that the power of “great men” tends to gender history as female. Biopics, in particular, submit history to certain individuals and raise some individuals to historical status. Does the making of “great men” undermine grand history?
