From the Back Cover:

Michel Vovelle is one of the most distinguished historians in France today. By combining ideas drawn from Marxism with some of the basic assumptions of the Annales school, Vovelle has developed a highly original and influential approach to social and cultural history.

This volume makes some of Vovelle′s most important work available in English for the first time. Vovelle analyses a variety of methodological issues and substantive themes. He examines aspects of popular culture, of popular resistance and revolution, as well as the history of death – the theme for which he is particularly well–known. He also develops an insightful and cogent critique of some of his most eminent contemporaries, including Aries and Braudel.
