Poetics Of The New History by Professor Phillippe Carrard

French Historical Discourse from Braudel to Chartier

This insightful work delves into the narrative techniques and rhetorical strategies employed by historians in the crafting of historical narratives. It explores how historians construct their accounts, focusing on the interplay between fact and fiction, and the role of narrative in shaping our understanding of history. By examining the stylistic and structural choices made by historians, the book sheds light on the subjective nature of historical writing and challenges the traditional notion of history as an objective recounting of past events.
