Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Huizinga had an aesthetic approach to history, where art and spectacle played an important part. This is his most famous work, wherein he here reinterpreted the Late Middle Ages as a period of pessimism and decadence rather than rebirth. \"The Waning of the Middle Ages\" is his masterpiece, a study of the forms of life of fifteenth-century France and Burgundy, based upon his critical reading of aesthetic and philological sources normally overlooked by the working historian. Huizinga attempted to do for the late medieval North what his acknowledged master, Jacob Burckhardt, had done for the Italian Renaissance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johan Huizinga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1614279438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614279433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.82d","brand":"Johan Huizinga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984629956863,"sku":"9781614279433","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63ccec28-fdfb-4a38-afa3-780de74eb2cf.jpg?v=1683273342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-waning-of-the-middle-johan-huizinga-9781614279433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
