This 1985 book presents a selection of ten of the most significant
contributions to Faire de l'histoire, a major three-volume
exposition of the fresh state of French historiography first
published in 1974. All the essays were commissioned from historians
representing the best of the 'Annales' tradition, including
Emmanuel le Roy Ladurie, Francois Furet and Georges Duby. The first
five essays concentrate upon the physical world, and deal with some
of the more familiar aspects of 'new history'; the second half of
the book is concerned with the unconscious world of mentalites, the
network of belief, symbol and cultural practice that is attracting
the attention of historians in ever-increasing numbers. In an
introduction Colin Lucas places the essays in this collection
within the long-term development of French historical study, and
assesses not only its great strengths but also some of the doubts
and dilemmas to which it has given rise.
