About The Author
Marc Bloch (1886–1944) was a French historian and one of the founding figures of the Annales School, which revolutionized historical writing by focusing on social history and long-term structures. A professor at the University of Strasbourg, Bloch specialized in medieval history. His work emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to history. Bloch's career was cut short when he was executed by the Nazis during World War II. His legacy endures through his influential works, especially The Historian's Craft, which continues to shape the study of history.
