The Waxing of the Middle Ages

Revisiting Late Medieval France

Herausgeber: Morand-Métivier, Charles-Louis; Adams, Tracy

Beschreibung

Johan Huizinga’s much-loved and much-contested Autumn of the Middle Ages, first published in 1919 and in print ever since, encouraged an image of the Late French Middle Ages as a flamboyant but empty period of decline and nostalgia. This collection sets out to provide a rich, complex, and diverse study showing that this often maligned and frequently ignored period is crucial in its own right.
