Herfsttij Der Middeleeuwen by Johan Huizinga

Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), one of the founders of cultural history, ranks among the most influential Dutch thinkers of the twentieth century. A complete bibliography of Huizinga’s sources will facilitate further research, while an epilogue addresses the meaning and enduring importance of this classic work. It features English renderings of the Middle French poems and other contemporary sources, and its colour illustrations include over three hundred paintings and prints, illuminated manuscripts, and miniatures pertinent to Huizinga’s discourse. The translation is based on the Dutch edition of 1941 – the last edition Huizinga worked on. The new and now unabridged translation of the original text captures the impact of Huizinga’s deep scholarship and powerful language. Its wide-ranging discussion of fourteenth and ﬁfteenth century France and the Low Countries makes it a classic study of life, culture, and thought in medieval society. This new English translation of Huizinga’s Autumntide of the Middle Ages (Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen) celebrates the centenary of a book that still ranks as one of the most perceptive and inﬂuential analyses of the late medieval period.
