This book provides a critical history of the movement associated
with the journal Annales, from its foundation in 1929 to the
present. This movement has been the single most important force in
the development of what is sometimes called the new history .
Renowned cultural historian, Peter Burke, distinguishes between
four main generations in the development of the Annales School. The
first generation included Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch, who fought
against the old historical establishment and founded the journal
Annales to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The second
generation was dominated by Fernand Braudel, whose magnificent work
on the Mediterranean has become a modern classic. The third
generation, deeply associated with the cultural turn in historical
scholarship, includes recently well-known historians such as
Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, Jacques Le Goff and Georges Duby. This new
edition brings us right up to the present, and contemplates the
work of a fourth generation, including practitioners such as Roger
Chartier, Serge Gruzinski and Jacques Revel. This new generation
continued much of the cultural focus of the previous Annales
historians, while diversifying further, and becoming increasingly
reflexive , a move that owes much to the sociocultural theories of
Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau and Pierre Bourdieu.
Wide-ranging yet concise, this new edition of a classic work of
analysis of one of the most important historical movements of the
twentieth century will be welcomed by students of history and other
social sciences and by the interested general reader.
