James Harvey Robinson (1863-1936) was an American historian, who played a pivotal role in redefining the study of history in the early 20th century. As a co-founder of the New History movement, he sought to broaden historical inquiry beyond political and military events to include social, cultural, and economic factors. Robinson earned his Ph.D. at the University of Freiburg in Germany and became a professor at Columbia University, where he taught from 1895 to 1919. His innovative pedagogical approaches and his emphasis on critical thinking were instrumental in modernizing history education. 'An Introduction to the History of Western Europe' is among Robinson's seminal works, encapsulating his expansive understanding of historical processes and structured around the evolution of European civilization.

Robinson's literary style is characterized by its lucid prose and engaging narrative, aiming to stimulate intellectual curiosity and a deeper understanding of the human past. As a champion of liberal education, his legacy endures in the continued quest for a holistic approach to the understanding of history.
