Jean Leduc, « Quelques aspects de l’écriture du temps chez les historiens français de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle », Revue d’histoire du XIXe siècle, ID : 10.4000/rh19.416
Some aspects of the writing of time among French historians in the second half of the 20th century. How did the French historians of the second half of the twentieth century express the time ? During the last quarter of the century, the present tense replaced the "passé simple" (past simple) as the basic tense of narrative sequences. Among the words or groups of words indicating time, those expressing an absolute dating predominate. The chronological narrative is the main form of the historical books, on the macro-textual scale as well on the micro-textual one.
