In this brillant meditation on conceptions of history, Le Goff traces the evolution of the historian's craft. Examining real and imagined oppositions between past and present, ancient and modern, oral and written history, History and Memory reveals the strands of continuity that have characterized historiography from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Europe.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Historiography has its fashions, and this is a clear and persuasive portrayal of a present trend away from the fraternization of history with philosophy, theology, literature and the history of the plastic arts, toward a flirtation with politics and the social sciences...A fine study.
(The Historian )Review
History and Memory is a splendid example of Le Goff's work on the notion of 'history.' Highly readable, consistently lucid, and very well informed, it is a wonderfully thought-provoking assessment, defense, and illustration of historical thinking and historiography."
(Gerald Prince, University of Pennsylvania )
