In this autobiography, Georges Duby looks back on a career that has
led him to be called one of the most distinguished historians in
the Western world. Since its beginning in the 1940s, Duby's career
has been rich and varied, encompassing economic history, social
history, the history of mentalites, art history, microhistory,
urban history, the history of women and sexuality and, most
recently, the Church's influence on feudal society. In retracing
this singular career path, Duby candidly remembers his life's most
formative influences, including the historians Marc Bloch and
Lucien Febvre, the Annales School so closely associated with them,
and the College de France. Duby also offers insights about the
proper methods of gathering and using archival data and on
constructing penetrating interpretations of the documents. Indeed,
his discussion of how he chose his subjects, collected his
materials, developed the arguments, erected the scaffolding and
constructed his theses offers the best introduction to the craft
available to aspiring historians. This book is both a memoir of one
of this century's great scholars and a history of the French
historical school since the mid-20th century. Georges Duby, a
member of the Academie francaise, for many years held the
distinguished chair in medieval history at the College de France.
His numerous books include "The Age of Cathedrals", "The Knight,
the Lady, and the Priest", "Love and Marriage in the Middle Ages"
and "The Three Orders" - all published by the University of Chicago
Press.
