The Waxing of the Middle Ages
Revisiting Late Medieval France
Edited by Charles-Louis Morand-Métivier and Tracy Adams
University of Delaware Press
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.
