Albert Malet (3 May 1864, Clermont-Ferrand – 25 September 1915, Battle of Thélus, Pas de Calais) was a French historian and author of scholarly textbooks, killed during the First World War.

Career

Malet failed the entrance exam at Saint-Cyr, However, in 1889 he passed the Aggregation of History and Geography.^[2]

Malet began teaching in Paris as “professeur agrégé d'histoire” (Associate Professor of History) at the lycée Voltaire in 1897.^[3]

Malet was one of the founding members and served as Secretary and on the Board of the Société d’Histoire de la Révolution in 1904.^[4]

In French high schools “exceptional importance [was] given to the teaching of history” courses which were required. The courses were “taught by specialized teachers, who numbered 620 in 1914.”^[6] Malet was one of this number. However, he not only taught history he wrote about history.

Malet contributed to the Histoire Générale du I’VE siècle à nos jours (General History of the Fourth Century to the Present Day) in twelve volumes, edited by Ernest Lavisse and published from 1893 to 1904.^[7]

Malet wrote many history texts for the Hachette Book Group.^[8] One of Malet’s texts was considered the “classic text” on French history. The classic text was Nouvelle histoire de France: l'Antiquité, le Moyen âge, les Temps modernes, la Révolution, l'Empire, la France contemporaine (New history of France: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, modern times, the Revolution, the Empire, contemporary France).

After the World War I and Malet’s death in it, Jules Isaac expanded and updated Malet’s history by “adding a chapter of 100 pages as a separate volume on the history of the war.”^[9] Malet was named as the coauthor of Isaac’s revision.^[10] To reflect Isaac’s addition, the title of the text was changed to Nouvelle histoire de France: l'Antiquité, le Moyen âge, les Temps modernes, la Révolution, l'Empire, la France contemporaine, la Grande Guerre (New history of France: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, modern times, the Revolution, the Empire, contemporary France, the Great War).

Malet’s other history texts are named Malet, Albert (1864-1915) in French and can be translated into English by Google.

World War I

Malet was “above the age of active duty” to be mobilized but he volunteered when the Great War began in 1914 to be mobilised, he joined up as a volunteer.^[11] Malet has been described as a “patriotic revanchard” (revanchist).^[12]

In the war, Malet served as a lieutenant in the 8th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the Reserve 163rd Infantry Regiment.^[13]

He was killed in the Artois offensive, in making an attack on Thélus on 25 September 1915.^[14]

The battle on September 25, 1915, was a “marked success.” Two men stood out for their “acts of bravery.” One was Lieutenant Malet.^[15]
