Description: Amherst :University of Massachusetts Press, 2004. Paperback. 244 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - Philippe Ariès (1914-1984) played the most influential role in bringing about a transformation in French historical writing, by rehabilitating the history of the pre-revolutionary French monarchy in his studies of the folkways of regional traditions, the sagas of families, and the secret passions of ordinary people in their private lives. Focusing on the contributions of Ariès, the author of Centuries of Childhood , to French historiography, Hutton argues that his turn towards the traditions of the monarchical France was a refuge for his royalist politics after the discrediting of royalism due to its associations with Vichy France.
