Synopsis:

Jacques Le Goff is a prominent figure in the tradition of French medieval scholarship, profoundly influenced by the Annales school, notably, Bloch, Febvre, and Braudel, and by the ethnographers and anthropologists Mauss, Dumézil, and Lévi-Strauss. In building his argument for "another Middle Ages" (un autre moyen âge), Le Goff documents the emergence of the collective mentalité from many sources with scholarship both imaginative and exact.

About the Author: Jacques Le Goff(1927-2014) was a prominent French historian andmedievalist. He wasa key proponent of theAnnales school of historical analysis, which emphasizes longterm social history over political or military themes. He argued that the Middle Ages were a distinct form ofcivilization, substantively different from both the classsical and modern worlds.
