In the 20th century, historians began arguing for new ways of doing
history. This "new history" movement called for a total history
open to exploring every human activity. Instead of concentrating on
the great deeds of statesmen and generals, new history considered
the views and experiences of ordinary people. Instead of limiting
themselves to official documents, new historians examined a greater
variety of evidence, collaborating with sociologists,
anthropologists, economists, linguists, and psychologists. Instead
of traditional narratives, new history examined structures. Instead
of claiming objective truth, new history acknowledged the
prejudices associated with color, creed, class or gender. In this
newly revised and updated edition of The French Historical
Revolution, renowned cultural historian Peter Burke provides a
critical history of this movement most associated with the French
journal Annales, from its foundation in 1929 to the present. From
founding historians Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch through the "new
history" movement's best-known champions Jacques Le Goff and
Fernand Braudel to current practitioners Roger Chartier and Serge
Gruzinski, Burke traces and analyzes the contributions of one of
the most important historical movements of the last century.
