Summary/Abstract: Book review. The collective volume Âges et genres des emotions médiévales belongs to an academic tradition which may rightfully be termed as illustrious, in the context of the European humanities and social sciences. I am referring, of course, to the intellectual legacy of the Annales School, which has, rather recently (throughout the last three decades or so), joined the generous disciplinary confluence of cultural history/ cultural studies. Throughout its multiple “generations”, the Annales School has evolved from the practice of a predominantly quantitative social and economic historiography, to qualitative approaches geared towards cultural history and historical anthropology.
