While combing through two-hundred-year-old judicial records from the Archives of the Bastille, historian Farge was struck by the extraordinarily intimate portrayal they provided of the lives of the poor in pre-Revolutionary France, especially women. She was seduced by the sensuality of old manuscripts and by the revelatory power of voices otherwise lost. In The Allure of the Archives, she conveys the exhilaration of uncovering hidden secrets and the thrill of venturing into new dimensions of the past. Originally published in 1989, Farge's classic work communicates the tactile, interpretive, and emotional experience of archival research while sharing astonishing details about life under the Old Regime in France. At once a practical guide to research methodology and an elegant literary reflection on the challenges of writing history, this uniquely rich volume demonstrates how surrendering to the archive's allure can forever change how we understand the past. 410 0$aLewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History 606 $aArchives 615 0$aArchives. 676 $a944.04 700 $aFarge$b Arlette$0143930 701 $aScott-Railton$b Thomas$01708193 701 $aDavis$b Natalie Zemon$f1928-2023.$01432308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824892203321 996 $aThe allure of the archives$94097039 997 $aUNINA
