Abstract

The article examines a modern episode from the history of the revision of the image of the French bourgeoisie in English-language historiography. The author shows that at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries, the American historian Sarah Maza raised the problem of the identity of this class in the period from 1750 to 1850 and put forward a hypothesis for reflection about its non-existence in the social imaginary. The study traces how the historian comes to the formulation of this question, reveals the essence of S. Maza's socio-cultural approach, demonstrates the assessment of her views from the scientific community.
