Charles Rollin was one of the greatest eighteenth‐century historians of the ancient world whose Jansenist views put him at odds with the administrations of several French universities that employed him. His compendious histories won the devoted praise of Voltaire and Rousseau, but in translation his works influenced intellectuals across Europe and particularly the Founding Fathers of the United States.
