This is a study of agricultural organisation in France from the early medieval period through to the French Revolution, in which Bloch discusses not just agricultural techniques (such as the development of ploughs which can deal with heavier soil types) but also the changing nature of social and legal norms and customs. When this book was first published, in the 1930s, Bloch's use of early modern cartographical evidence to uncover something about medieval land usage and topography was still a relatively new technique; it's a measure of Bloch's influence just how much of what he writes here now seems standard. Of course, there's a lot that also seems quite dated in terms of both methodology and conclusion. Bloch sets out to describe the "original" characteristics of pre-industrial agrarian civilisation in France, and in the last few decades I think social historians have learned to be rightfully wary of static "template" civilisations like that. Still worth a read if you're interested in rural/agricultural history, though. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

First published in Britain in 1966, French Rural History is a study initially given as lectures in Oslo in 1929. It focuses on the fundamental problems of French agrarian history and places them in true perspective. Throughout the work, Marc Bloch analyses the issues in all their complexity and treats them practically, as would a man who was both a historian and a farmer. The work has been celebrated as a work of historical sociology, full of personality and unmistakable insight. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
