I have his "Civilization and Capitalism" trilogy, too. Never wound up working on that period, though, so they have sat unread for a quarter century.

The first volume of that was good. Never touched the second. Stopped 2/3 through the third.

Quentin Skinner / JGA Pocock (who I met, and who is still alive, amazingly) were my the sources of my methodology, but we got a fair dose of the Annales school as well. Foucault and his epigones were off limits, per my advisor, though I enjoyed that guy's work, for what it was

I've met Skinner. I don't think I've met Pocock. I have issues with the Cambridge School, but I do find it much more congenial. I am not a fan of Foucault, though maybe I ought to give him a second chance now that he's not being forced down my throat in grad school.

Foucault wrote some decent little historical pieces that, while playing fast and loose with the record, were interesting enough. His invocation by supposed disciples or disciples of those disciples is usually a sign to quit reading
