While combing through two-hundred-year-old judicial records from the Archives of the Bastille, historian Farge was struck by the extraordinarily intimate portrayal they provided of the lives of the poor in pre-Revolutionary France, especially women. She was seduced by the sensuality of old manuscripts and by the revelatory power of voices otherwise lost. In \u003cem\u003eThe Allure of the Archives\u003c\/em\u003e, she conveys the exhilaration of uncovering hidden secrets and the thrill of venturing into new dimensions of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1989, Farge’s classic work communicates the tactile, interpretive, and emotional experience of archival research while sharing astonishing details about life under the Old Regime in France.
