Philip Mansel (born 1951) is a historian of courts and cities, and the author of a number of books about revolutionary and post-revolutionary France and the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire. He was born in London in 1951 and educated at Eton College, Balliol College, Oxford, and University College London. ==Career== Philip Mansel's first book, ''Louis XVIII'', was published in 1981 and this – together with subsequent works such as ''Paris Between Empires 1814–1852'' (2001) – established him on both sides of the Channel as an authority on the later French monarchy, a fact recognised by his appointment as Chevalier des Arts et Lettres. Six of his books have been translated into French. Altogether Mansel has published eleven books of history and biography, mainly relating either to France or to his other main area of interest, the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East: ''Sultans in Splendour'' was published in 1988, ''Constantinople: City of the World's Desire 1453–1924'' in 1995 and ''Levant: Splendour and Catastrophe on the Mediterranean'' in 2010. The last two have been translated into Greek and Turkish. In 1995, Mansel was a co-founder of the Society for Court Studies, together with David Starkey, Robert Oresko and Simon Thurley, and he is the editor of the Society's journal, ''The Court Historian''. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, the Royal Society of Literature, the Institute of Historical Research (University of London), and the Royal Asiatic Society, and a member of the Conseil Scientifique of the Centre de Recherche du Château de Versailles. Mansel was awarded the London Library Life in Literature prize in 2012. Over the past 30 years Mansel has contributed reviews and articles to a wide range of newspapers and journals, including History Today, The English Historical Review, The International Herald Tribune, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and Apollo. Currently he writes reviews for The Spectator, The Times Literary Supplement and Cornucopia. Mansel has lectured all over the world – including the United States, France, Germany, Italy and Turkey – and has made a number of appearances on radio and television, including in the two-part Channel 4 documentary Harem and in Versailles (BBC2, 2012). He has been interviewed on French, Belgian, Turkish and Lebanese television. 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「Philip Mansel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
