Harvey Goldberg (March 13, 1922, Orange, New Jersey – May 20, 1987, Madison, Wisconsin) was a teacher, historian and political activist. == Biography == Harvey Goldberg was born in Orange, New Jersey. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1943. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1951; the subject of his dissertation ''Jaurès and French foreign policy'', was French Socialist leader Jean Léon Jaurès. A specialist in European social history, Goldberg began his career as a historian at Oberlin College. After three years at Oberlin, Goldberg moved to Ohio State University, where he taught until 1963. His years at Ohio State were marked by extraordinary achievements in both scholarship and teaching. He published widely in journals ranging from ''The Nation'' to ''The International Review of Social History''. His books include a biography of the great modern French democratic socialist, ''The Life of Jean Jaurès'' (1962), which The New York Times referred to as "The definitive biography, as dense with life, character and events as a Balzac novel."〔Wolfe, Bertram D., "A Fighter for Utopia," ''The New York Times Book Review'' (July 1, 1962), p. 159.〕 Some publications are still only in French, such as his edits with George Haupt of the memoirs of Charles Rappoport.〔Marc Lagana, annotated by Harvey Golderg and George Haupt, "Une vie révolutionnaire, 1883-1940: Les mémoires de Charles Rappoport," Maison des sciences de l'homme, Paris, 1991〕 Near the end of his book on Jaurès, Goldberg wrote, "He had the integrity to be partisan, the courage to be revolutionary, the humanism to be tolerant." His Ohio State students recognized and honored those same traits in Goldberg himself, as evidenced by his award as Professor of the Year by the Arts College Student Council in 1959 when he was just 36 years old. In 1963, University of Wisconsin President Fred Harvey Harrington invited Goldberg to return to Madison. Goldberg was given the freedom to teach as he wished and the liberty to spend every third year in Paris. As a faculty member, Goldberg carried the history department when it came to attracting large student enrollments that drove departmental budgets. He estimated that during his 40-year career he taught some 25,000 students. He also supervised 49 PhDs. Despite his contributions to the department, however, Goldberg never received a teaching award from Wisconsin. Goldberg taught at the University of Wisconsin from 1963 until illness forced his hospitalization. He died of liver cancer on May 20, 1987. He is buried at Madison's Forest Hill Cemetery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harvey Goldberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
