Paperback. Condition: Good. Waning of the Middle Ages ? Johan Huizinga (Penguin Books, 1990 edition) History buffs, cultural theorists, and lovers of medieval oddities rejoice ? here?s Johan Huizinga?s classic study of the final centuries of the Middle Ages, back when knights were a bit rusty, courtly love had gone melodramatic, and the whole medieval enterprise was showing its age. In this elegantly written work, Huizinga explores the art, literature, politics, and everyday life of late medieval France and the Low Countries, showing how a world obsessed with chivalry, pageantry, and symbolism was, in fact, in decline. This is the 1990 Penguin paperback edition ? a sturdy, respectable copy with a bit of shelf wear and the sort of mild yellowing that gives a book gravitas (and that faint nostalgic aroma of ?old library?). Pages are clean, spine unbroken, and it?s ready to transport you to a time when the end of an era was playing out in sumptuous style. Perfect for those who want their history richly textured, their scholarship accessible, and their medieval knights ever so slightly past their prime. Seller Inventory # 4149
