Marc Bloch and the Annales School of History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Marc Bloch and the Annales School of History

Saturday 06 July 2024 is the 138th anniversary of the birth of Marc Bloch (06 July 1886 – 16 June 1944), who was born on this date in Lyon in 1886. Bloch was shot by the Gestapo on 16 June 1944 because of his involvement in the French resistance.

Bloch was a founder of the Annales school of history, along with Lucien Febvre and Fernand Braudel. The Annales school emphasized the longue durée as the structure of history, and Bloch adopted this perspective in his classic work Feudal Society.
