Description

Explore the evolution of French historiography through this detailed study by Pim den Boer. Part of the Princeton Legacy Library, this book provides a vivid portrait of the French historical profession from 1818 to 1914. It captures the period leading up to the rise of the famous Annales school, offering a deep look into how history was practiced before modern shifts occurred. This work places the profession within its specific social, academic, and political contexts. It challenges the idea that earlier historians were merely amateurish or primitive compared to their successors. By examining the quantity of historical writing and its various subject matters, the book helps readers understand the true foundation of the field. It is an essential resource for those interested in the development of academic history and the scholars who shaped the discipline in France.
