Description

The history advocated by French scholars of the "Annales" School played a central role in the reform movement of history in the 20^<th> century. It is sometimes called 'New History' because it denied the main stream historical view of the 19^<th> century which emphasized a political history alone, and tried to grasp total history including an economic history, a social history, a cultural history etc. For the same purpose it also encouraged exchange between history and geography which attached importance to regional study. In particular, two historians, L. Febvre and M. Bloch, who edited the bulletin of the "Annales" School, ≪Annales d'histoire economique et sociale≫, were deeply interested in geography and introduced a geographical view into historical study. In this paper I first discussed the formation and development of the "Annales" School, paying special attention to its relations with geography. Next, I took up M. Bloch's ≪Les Caracteres originaux de l'Histoire rulale francaise≫, analyzed and studied it because this book best shows geographical influence among the books on historical study. And I concluded that the methodology of the "Annales" School can effectively be applied to regional study by geographers.
