Fernand Braudel (1912-1985), was a leading French historian and
author of, among other books, the groundbreaking The Mediterranean
and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II (1949). One of
the founders of the Annales School in France, Braudel insisted on
treating the Mediterranean region as a whole, irrespective of
religious and national divides. Braudel's new historiography
rejected political history as the dominant discipline and espoused
a 'total history' or a 'history from below' that would tell the
story of the vast majority of humanity hitherto excluded from the
grand narrative. At the time of the book's appearance, this premise
was revolutionary. The contributors to Braudel Revisited assess the
impact of Braudel's work on today's academic world, in light of
subsequent methodological shifts. Engaging with Braudel's texts as
well as with his ideas, the essays in this volume speak to the
enduring legacy of his work on the ongoing exploration of early
modern history.
