Poetics of the New History Summary

Poetics of the New History: French Historical Discourse from Braudel to Chartier by Philippe Carrard

Exploring the works of Braudel, Duby, Aries, Le Roy Ladurie and many others, this book asks whether the new problems, approaches, and objects that are supposedly specific to the Annales school may be connected to new strategies of writing. Whereas most studies of historiography focus on plot structures exclusively, the book is also concerned with the minutiae of writing.

Poetics of the New History Reviews

Philippe Carrard's 'Poetics of the New History' is the kind of book that could have an important role in ending the turf battles between historians and literary critics concerned with problems related to the writing of history. In any case, this work should help clear up some of the most persistent misunderstandings...and serve to refocus and revitalize debates over the 'literary'--that is, narratological, tropological, poetic or rhetorical--dimension of history-writing, as well as the historical dimension of literary texts and critical strategies.--David Carroll, 'CLIO' Carrard's sensitive readings of the New History substantially refine our understanding of how a number of the Annalistes write. In the process, he makes them far more accessible--and interesting--to the literary community.--'Poetics Today'
