"The Historian's Craft" is a seminal work by French historian Marc Bloch, co-founder of the Annales School, first published in 1949. In this posthumously published essay, Bloch explores the nature of history and the role of historians in constructing this science. He delves into the methods of historical observation, analysis, and criticism, emphasizing the importance of understanding the present through the past and vice versa. Bloch argues that history is a holistic endeavor, where no period or topic can be fully understood except in relation to others. He also contends that historians should aim to explain and describe rather than evaluate, cautioning against the "mania for making judgments" as a "satanic enemy of true history." This work is invaluable for students of history, teachers of historiography, and all those interested in the writings of the Annales School.
