Georges Duby's "The Legend Of Bouvines" is a seminal work of historical analysis that meticulously reconstructs the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, a pivotal event in medieval European history. This academic text transcends a simple recounting of military strategy, instead examining how the battle was mythologized and its significance shaped over centuries. Duby, a master historian, illustrates the interplay between historical fact and collective memory, revealing how the "legend" of Bouvines became a cornerstone of French national identity. The book presents a compelling argument for the constructed nature of historical narratives, making it essential reading for students of medieval history, historiography, and cultural studies.
