Its wide-ranging discussion of fourteenth and  fteenth century France and the Low Countries makes it a classic study of life, culture, and thought in medieval society. The new and now unabridged translation of the original text captures the impact of Huizinga's deep scholarship and powerful language. The translation is based on the Dutch edition of 1941 - the last edition Huizinga worked on. 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. A complete bibliography of Huizinga's sources will facilitate further research, while an epilogue addresses the meaning and enduring importance of this classic work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraeme Small is Professor of Medieval History at Durham University and the author of several books, including \u003ccite\u003eGeorge Chastelain and the Shaping of Valois Burgundy\u003c\/cite\u003e as well as \u003ccite\u003eCourt and Civic Society in the Burgundian Low Countries\u003c\/cite\u003e (with Andrew Brown) and \u003ccite\u003eLate Medieval France\u003c\/cite\u003e.
