Focusing on monuments as key objects, this book explores the understanding of the "Gallic past" in 18th and early 19th century French discourse. It delves into how these structures influenced perceptions of history, the evolution of related concepts, and the epistemic practices employed to interpret and produce knowledge about that era. Through this lens, the author aims to reshape the field's approach to historical understanding in France.
