       | The Annales journal was established in 1929 and shaped the
       | context of everything that Christopher Hill did:

       | Braudel is the most famous of the historians from this school.
       | His book "The Structures Of Everyday Life" established
       | historiography on the basis of what ordinary people did in their
       | ordinary lives: what they ate, what they wore, how they worked.
       | And Braudel was building upon ideas already established by the
       | founders of the Annales school. But this enormously influential
       | group of historians were a constant source of inspiration to
       | Christopher Hill, and I think shaped the way he wrote The World
       | Turned Upside Down.
       | 
       | I recommend both Hill and Braudel, both pillars of my
       | intellectual life.
