A Hacker News post discusses an article about historian Christopher Hill's "history from below" approach. A commenter, lkrubner, points out the article's surprising omission of Fernand Braudel and the Annales School, a significant influence on Hill. The Annales School, established in 1929, shaped historical writing by focusing on the lives of ordinary people, influencing how historians like Hill explored everyday experiences. Braudel's "The Structures Of Everyday Life" exemplified this approach, examining ordinary people's lives. lkrubner suggests that the Annales School, particularly Braudel, provided constant inspiration for Hill, shaping his writing in "The World Turned Upside Down." The commenter recommends both Hill and Braudel as intellectually significant figures.

The Annales journal was established in 1929 and shaped the context of everything that Christopher Hill did:

Braudel is the most famous of the historians from this school. His book “The Structures Of Everyday Life” established historiography on the basis of what ordinary people did in their ordinary lives: what they ate, what they wore, how they worked. And Braudel was building upon ideas already established by the founders of the Annales school. But this enormously influential group of historians were a constant source of inspiration to Christopher Hill, and I think shaped the way he wrote The World Turned Upside Down.
I recommend both Hill and Braudel, both pillars of my intellectual life.
