To receive a royal pardon in sixteenth-century France for certain kinds of homicide—unpremeditated, unintended, in self-defense, or otherwise excusable—a supplicant had to tell the king a story. These stories took the form of letters of remission, documents narrated to royal notaries by admitted offenders who, in effect, stated their case for pardon to the king. Thousands of such stories are found in French archives, providing precious evidence of the narrative skills and interpretive schemes of peasants and artisans as well as the well-born.

This book, by one of the most acclaimed historians of our time, is a pioneering effort to us the tools of literary analysis to interpret archival texts: to show how people from different stations in life shaped the events of a crime into a story, and to compare their stories with those told by Renaissance authors not intended to judge the truth or falsity of the pardon narratives, but rather to refer to the techniques for crafting stories.

A number of fascinating crime stories, often possessing Rabelaisian humor, are told in the course of the book, which consists of three long chapters. These chapters explore the French law of homicide, depictions of "hot anger" and self-defense, and the distinctive characteristics of women's stories of bloodshed.

The book is illustrated with seven contemporary woodcuts and a facsimile of a letter of remission, with appendixes providing several other original documents. This volume is based on the Harry Camp Memorial Lectures given at Stanford University in 1986.

读后感

没有记页码，就只好发这里不发笔记板了。 话说这本真的很难借，国图都没有，据说是弄丢了，然后只能从港大借，七天五十块。。。果断复印三本福利pku众人吧。 natalie davis遍阅人类学家作品victor turner, geertz, mary douglas，尝试结合历史学和人类学研究，此创新或美国历...  

简单记录一些零碎的思路，短评太长了找个地方放，并不是什么严谨的书评。只是一些碎片和近况。 1.赦罪书经过多手，究竟在反映谁的心声？ 2.要在感情上博取他人的同情与认同，获得赦罪，就必须讲述一个故事，故事的连贯性使它真实，情节又使它动人。 3.突出了男女性社会地位的不...

从表面上看，本书讨论的是一堆琐屑的小事：16世纪时一些犯下罪过的法国平民，如何在赦罪书里讲述自己犯罪的过程，并出于各自不同的理由向国王和法官请求宽赦。但和一般的历史著作不同，这里的重心并不是“事件”本身，而是历史上的当事人如何“讲述”这些事件——基于可以理解...  

用户评价

一些档案里的故事像小说一样好看。

这书应该很容易被标题党吧。图书馆分类时和文学类放一起了真心有趣。台译本把"fiction"翻成"虚构"似乎也强化了标题党效应。其实重点不在“档案”也不在“虚构”还是在“心态”吧。哎...估计没有修辞学基础要看Ginzburg, Davis什么的还是有隔阂的。以及，Davis还是不及Ginzburg聪明啊远远不及。

读的是老太太签名版。文字平易近人，就像老太太本人 ;)

A example of microhistorical studies aiming at narrative interpretation.
