Natalie Zemon Davis (1928–2023) was an American-Canadian historian known for her innovative approach to the cultural and social history of early modern Europe. Her most famous work is The Return of Martin Guerre (1983), a pioneering study in microhistory that has been translated into more than twenty languages. Other notable works include Fiction in the Archives (1987), Women on the Margins (1995), and Trickster Travels: A Sixteenth-Century Muslim Between Worlds (2006). Davis taught at institutions such as Princeton and the University of Toronto, and her work is characterized by blending history, anthropology, and literature to recover the voices of marginalized people in history.

Throughout her career, Davis received numerous accolades, including the Holberg Prize in 2010 and the National Humanities Medal from the U.S. in 2012. She was also named a Companion of the Order of Canada. Her legacy continues in the field of historiography, where her interdisciplinary approach and focus on personal narratives have deeply influenced generations of historians.
