Jonathan Beecher is a historian who has taught at the University of California at Santa Cruz since the early 1970s. He specializes in French history, European intellectual history, including Russian. He received his BA and his PhD from Harvard.

His biography on the utopian socialist Charles Fourier [1] is considered by some to be the best in any language on the man[citation needed]. He has also written a biography of Victor Considérant.[2]
