Perhaps this century's most innovative and influential school of historical thought, Annales has grown from a primarily French school to one of international dimensions; yet it is not well defined for historians in English-speaking countries. Selecting the literature that best represents Annales characteristics, this bibliography covers Annales theory and practice as an intellectual movement, a historiography, and as a school of historical scholarship. It also covers Annales historians and their substantive works.



The volume opens with an essay overviewing the Annales movement. Part One covers works on the history and theory of the movement, and Part Two covers the historians and their important works. The annotated entries include articles, monographs, dissertations, and book chapters in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian.
