Description

Lucien Febvre's masterpiece of historical scholarship, originally published in 1942 and now available in English translation, offers a groundbreaking examination of religious and intellectual life during the sixteenth century. Despite its subtitle referencing Rabelais, this work transcends a simple literary analysis to become a profound study of the mentalite-the collective mental framework-of an entire historical epoch. Febvre, the founder of the influential Annales journal alongside Marc Bloch, was one of France's most distinguished historians with unparalleled expertise in sixteenth-century Europe. Written late in his career, this volume represents the culmination of his scholarly vision and remains a modern classic that reshaped how historians understand religious consciousness, belief systems, and intellectual culture during this transformative period. The translation captures the full depth of Febvre's argument about the very possibility of unbelief in an age of religious dominance.
