The Annales School is an approach to writing history developed in the early mid twentieth century by French historians contributing articles to the journal Annales d'histoire economique et sociale (Annals of Economic and Social History), founded in 1929. Early 'annalistes' included Marc Bloch (executed by the Nazis for resistance activities in 1944) and Lucien Febvre; prominent later writers include Fernand Braudel and Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie. The emphasis of the Annales school is on the study of social history and of change over very long periods - the 'longue duree'; and there is a pronounced geographical influence. One of the best-known works by Annalistes which has been translated into English is Braudel's study of Mediterranean economy and society. Another popular area of study is that of 'Mentalities' - how people thought at different points in history.
