Description
Jacques Le Goff is a prominent figure in the tradition of French medieval scholarship, profoundly influenced by the Annales school, notably, Bloch, Febvre, and Braudel, and by the ethnographers and anthropologists Mauss, Dumezil, and Levi-Strauss. In building his argument for "another Middle Ages" (un autre moyen age), Le Goff documents the emergence of the collective mentalite from many sources with scholarship both imaginative and exact.
