Entry: Historiography - The Annales School of Thought - A21013598
Author: Kyra - Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die - U1572880

And another history entry ...

Hi Kyra,

This and the other entry are very erudite and well-written. I don't feel qualified to comment on the detail, so I hope somebody who can will be along in due course.

This is the first time I've read about historiography, so thank you for submitting it - very interesting.

Icy

I'm just glad someone noticed it And that it's understandable

And after looking up 'erudite' ... Thanks

'breaks with Braudel's methodological structuralism and reaffirms the Durkheimian idea of history of mentalities

^^^ You're missing a closing quote mark here ^^^

a 14th century study of Montaillou --> 14th Century

Otherwise, good work once again

I'm studying this one week next term, so I will read it with interest.

Fixed, thanks

Good Entry (the other one too)

I think you should maybe explain who Durkheim was if you're going to include the quote about a reversion to his model. He's relevant anyway as the originator of L'Annee Sociologique which was a sociolgogical source and major influence on the Annales School.

OK, I confess I know a little bit about the history of sociology and nothing about historiography

Minor point : maybe the description of the Montaillou work as a '14thC study' is a bit misleading. Might it be better to describe it as being compiled from 14thC sources?

Added, and changed

Well, I knew next to nothing about historiography - and this (and the companion entry) was a nice intro - about the right level I'd say

One small typo:
one of the criticisms leveled --> levelled

Kyra, this has been recommended and we agree! Good work.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Thanks

Yay! Congrats
