Le sous-titre importe ici plus que le titre : ce livre n'est pas, en effet, une présentation, après tant d'autres, du XVIe siècle français ; c'est une tentative plus originale pour définir dans ses éléments dominants une histoire des mentalités collectives. L'expérience est faite ici au niveau de la première modernité française : il s'agit de faire revivre le plus exactement, et aussi pleinement qu'il se peut, les Français qui ont vécu "de Colomb à Galilée, de la découverte de la Terre à celle du Ciel" (Michelet). La hardiesse de l'entreprise - qui légitime le mot Essai - se découvre à la simple évocation de son sommaire : des conditions alimentaires de l'existence jusqu'à la mystique et même à la vogue du suicide, tous les comportements humains sont ici passés en revue... Le livre se divise en trois parties : les mesures physiques et psychiques des individus ; les milieux sociaux et leurs enchaînements de solidarités inégalement solides, inégalement efficaces ; enfin, les grands types d'activités humaines vus dans leurs déterminations psychologiques : métiers et divertissements, dépassements - arts, sciences, religions -, évasions, aux formes les plus étranges... En son fond même, cet ouvrage est à la fois un bilan et un programme : état de la question, dans ce domaine de la psychologie collective, trop oublié des historiens, et, en même temps, un plan de recherches à poursuivre, pour aider ce secteur historique à combler son retard par rapport aux secteurs politique et économique, aujourd'hui en plein épanouissement. Par ce double caractère, cet Essai de psychologie historique est bien dans l'esprit de la collection "L'Évolution de l'Humanité".

This Handbook re-examines the concept of early modern history in a European and global context. The term 'early modern' has been familiar, especially in Anglophone scholarship, for four decades and is securely established in teaching, research, and scholarly publishing. More recently, however, the unity implied in the notion has fragmented, while the usefulness and even the validity of the term, and the historical periodisation which it incorporates, have been questioned. The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750 provides an account of the development of the subject during the past half-century, but primarily offers an integrated and comprehensive survey of present knowledge, together with some suggestions as to how the field is developing. It aims both to interrogate the notion of 'early modernity' itself and to survey early modern Europe as an established field of study. The overriding aim will be to establish that 'early modern' is not simply a chronological label but possesses a substantive integrity. Volume I examines 'Peoples and Place', assessing structural factors such as climate, printing and the revolution in information, social and economic developments, and religion, including chapters on Orthodoxy, Judaism and Islam.

A critical analysis of Centuries of Childhood, in which the French historian Philippe Aries offers a fundamentally fresh interpretation of what childhood is and what the institution means for society at large. Aries's core idea is that ‘childhood,’ as we understand it today – a special time that requires special efforts and resources – is an invention of the 19th century, and that before that date children were in effect thought of as small adults. This led him to a re-evaluation of sources that suggested a second, crucial, conclusion: the idea that these competing visions of childhood were the products of two very different conceptions of human society. An earlier, essentially communal, social ideal, Aries wrote, had been supplanted by a society far more family-centric and hence inward-facing. In his view, moreover, this increased focus on childhood posed a direct challenge to a well-entrenched social order. ‘One is tempted to conclude,’ he wrote, ‘that sociability and the concept of the family were incompatible, and could develop only at each other's expense.’ This revolutionary thesis, which has inspired and infuriated other historians in roughly equal measure, was made possible by Aries's determination to understand the meaning of the evidence available to him and highlight problems of definition that others had simply glossed over, making Centuries of Childhood an important example of the critical thinking skill of interpretation.

Farce has always been relegated to the lowest rung of the ladder of dramatic genres. Distinctions between farce and more literary comic forms remain clouded, even in the light of contemporary efforts to rehabilitate this type of comedy. Is farce really nothing more than slapstick-the "putting out of candles, kicking down of tables, falling over joynt-stools," as Thomas Shadwell characterized it in the seventeenth century? Or was his contemporary, Nahum Tate correct when he declared triumphantly that "there are no rules to be prescribed for that sort of wit, no patterns to copy; and 'tis altogether the creature of imagination"? Davis shows farce to be an essential component in both the comedic and tragic traditions. Farce sets out to explore the territory of what makes farce distinct as a comic genre. Its lowly origins date back to the classic Graeco-Roman theatre; but when formal drama was reborn by the process of elaboration of ritual within the mediaeval Church, the French term "farce" became synonymous with a recognizable style of comic performance. Taking a wide range of farces from the briefest and most basic of fair-ground mountebank performances to fully-fledged five-act structures from the late nineteenth century, the book reveals the patterns of comic plot and counter-plot that are common to all. The result is a novel classification of farce-plots, which serves to clarify the differences between farce and more literary comic forms and to show how quickly farce can shade into other styles of humor. The key is a careful balance between a revolt against order and propriety, and a kind of Realpolitik which ultimately restores the social conventions under attack. A complex array of devices in such things as framing, plot, characterization, timing and acting style maintain the delicate balance. Contemporary examples from the London stage bring the discussion u
