This Le Chevalier d'Harmental review reads Le Chevalier d'Harmental as a history or ideas book that uses the promises of history or ideas book to test institutions, evidence, public argument, historical scale, intellectual conflict, and the danger of over-simple explanations. Le Chevalier d'Harmental belongs first on the history and ideas shelf, but it becomes more useful when the reader treats category as a doorway rather than a verdict. The book also reaches toward literary fiction, which is why a single shelf label would be too narrow for Le Chevalier d'Harmental.
