En savoir plus sur le livre
This classic study of art, life, and thought in France and the Netherlands during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries offers one of the most insightful analyses of the medieval period. Authored by Dutch historian John Huizinga, it posits that the era of diminishing chivalry embodies the spirit of its time, viewing its figures and events not as precursors to the Renaissance but as a culmination of the old. The author explores various themes, including the violent nature of medieval life, the concept of chivalry, love conventions, religious practices, death perceptions, and the symbolism that permeated the era. Readers experience the late Middle Ages through the minds of artists, theologians, poets, and statesmen, revealing the complexities of medieval existence—its splendor and simplicity, courtesy and cruelty, idealism and despair, as well as its religious, artistic, and practical dimensions. Regarded as a landmark of historical scholarship, this work is also a remarkable literary achievement. The New York Times praised Huizinga for presenting a rich tapestry of facts in a vivid style. Since its original publication in 1919, it has gained international acclaim and remains an invaluable resource for students and scholars of medieval history, while also captivating general readers intrigued by the Middle Ages.
