Professor Le Roy Ladurie is the leading exponent of the `new' history of the French school. His achievement has set an example to historians in all other countries. As the diverse studies in this volume show, he has particularly revolutionised the study of population change, offering new techniques and posing new questions. In mapping new territory he insists upon measurement together with insight into social and psychological issues. These he studies in his unique style. He urges that demography is a fundamental determinant of economic change. He calls this the source of `the immense, slow-moving fluctuations' and the huge cycles of rising and falling pressures on supply. `History that is not quantitative cannot claim to be scientific,' says Ladurie.

Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie is a French historian whose work is mainly focused upon Languedoc in the Ancien Regime, particularly the history of the peasantry. His landmark book Montaillou - which was published in 1975 to wide acclaim - had a huge impact on historical studies and remains a classic.
