Download or read book History as a Profession written by Pim den Boer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a vivid portrait of the French historical profession in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, concluding just before the emergence of the famous Annales school of historians. It places the profession in its social, academic, and political context and shows that historians of the period have been unfairly maligned as amateurish and primitive in comparison to their more celebrated successors. Pim den Boer begins by sketching the contours of French historiography in the nineteenth century, examining the quantity of historical writing, its subject matter, and who wrote it. He traces the growing influence of professional historians. He shows the increasing involvement of the national government in historical studies, paying special attention to the impact of political factions, ranging from ultraroyalists to radical republicans. He explores how historical research and teaching changed at schools and universities. And he shows how nineteenth-century historians' keen understanding of the past and of historical methodology laid the foundations for historiography in the twentieth century. archives, including official documents, confidential reports, and personal letters. Den Boer makes use of statistical, biographical, and methodological analysis and demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of both minor historians and leading scholars, including Charles Seignobos and Charles-Victor Langlois.

Download or read book Raconter la France written by Laurent Avezou and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tout Français cultivé entretient un dialogue intime et fort avec l'histoire de la France. Il en va ainsi parce que, de Clovis à nos jours, il s'est trouvé à chaque époque des hommes de talent et de conviction pour enquêter sur le passé du pays et y rechercher les clés du présent. Cette entreprise collective, à laquelle chaque siècle a donné ses couleurs propres, est transcendée par un certain nombre d'oeuvres majeures (Voltaire, Michelet, Bloch, Braudel.).Mais que sait-on vraiment de "l'histoire de l'histoire de France", de cette réinvention en continu du "roman national", des évolutions dans la perception de ce qui rassemble et divise les Français ? Comment est-on passé du récit des hauts faits des princes à l'exaltation du peuple, de la révérence envers le sacré (Dieu, le Roi, la République, la Patrie.), à l'irrévérence de ceux qui ne veulent plus s'en laisser conter, de l'exaltation des épisodes glorieux à la levée des tabous sur les "pages noires" du passé national ?

Download or read book French Historical Method written by Traian Stoianovich and published by Ithaca, N.Y. : Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famed Annales "school" has had a formidable and enduring influence upon the historians of the Western world. This book is both a history of the school and an analysis of its entire network of historical and methodological conceptions. The school derived its name from a distinguished French journal founded in 1929 by Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch. Mr. Stoianovich traces the ideas of its founders, of their successors, and of the historians who were inspired by their methods. The Annales school's view of history is uniquely its own, and Stoianovich's concise and challenging account of the development and ramifications of that view is a valuable contribution to the history of ideas. In a revealing Foreword, written with brilliance and exceptional grace, Fernand Braudel engages the author in friendly debate over the evolution of the Annales model of history. While they may differ on nuances, Braudel and Stoianovich agree that whatever direction historical scholarship may take in France, scholars throughout the world will continue to make use of the flexible, open-ended historiographical tool that the Annales model provides. - Jacket flap.

Download or read book War Government and Power in Late Medieval France written by C. T. Allmand and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume portray the public life of late medieval France as that country established its position as a leader of western European society in the early modern world. A central theme is the contribution made by contemporary writers, chroniclers and commentators, such as Jean Froissart, William Worcester and Philippe de Commynes, to our understanding of the past. Who were they? What picture of their times did they present? Were their works intended to influence their contemporaries and what success did they enjoy? Other contributions deal with the exercise of political power, the relationship between the court and those in authority in far-flung reaches of the kingdom, and the role and status of the death penalty as deterrent, punishment and means of achieving justice. "... a very valuable overview of recent work on the interface between the intellectual and the political history of the Valois realm."—De Re Militari Online "... this collection will be of particular interest to literary scholars as well as historians in view of the emphasis of many of the essays on representations above event or record."—Medium Aevum

Download or read book Academy and Community written by William R. Keylor and published by Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1975 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most informed observers would agree that an inordinate proportion of the most exciting, innovative, and ground-breaking work in the field of historical scholarship since the First World War has taken place in the French university system. In this book Keylor describes the establishment of history as an academic discipline in France between 1870 and 1914 and the formation of the "scientific" school of historical writing in the French university system. In a lucid study the author explains the complex process by which the new discipline of history was organized, furnished with a set of professional goals, and provided with the theoretical and institutional means of achieving them. Keylor discusses the multifarious problems that confronted the university historians as they sought to transform their craft from an avocation of amateurs into a scholarly discipline pursued by trained specialists employed by the university system: the growing tensions between the universitaires and the literary historians outside the academy; the conflict between the "scientific" claims of the French historical school and its commitment to employ history for patriotic and political ends; and the interdisciplinary rivalries between academic history and the fledgling discipline of sociology.
