History and Memory

In this brilliant meditation on conceptions of history, Jacques Le Goff traces the evolution of the historian's craft. Examining real and imagined oppositions between past and present, ancient and modern, oral and written history, History and Memory reveals the strands of continuity that have characterized historiography from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Europe. Le Goff discusses the crisis of historiography, when critiques of objectivity--and history-as-narrative, of history as an exact science-- force historians to reconsider the ways they think about themselves and their work.History and Memory will inspire a better understanding of historical work and provide an essential overview of the new history that has revolutionized historical studies in the past half-century.
