Johan Huizinga’s much-loved and much-contested Autumn of the Middle Ages, first published in 1919, encouraged an image of the Late French Middle Ages as a flamboyant but empty period of decline and nostalgia. Many studies, particularly literary studies, have challenged Huizinga’s perceptions of individual works or genres. Still, the vision of the Late French and Burgundian Middle Ages as a sad transitional phase between the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance persists. Yet, a series of exceptionally significant cultural developments mark the period. The Waxing of the Middle Ages sets out to provide a rich, complex, and diverse study of these developments and to reassert that late medieval France is crucial in its own right. The collection argues for an approach that views the late medieval period not as an afterthought, or a blind spot, but as a period that is key in understanding the fluidity of time, traditions, culture, and history. Each essay explores some “cultural form,� to borrow Huizinga’s expression, to expose the false divide that has dominated modern scholarship.

LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com. Yes, that's right: The Freeman. This is the original, as edited by Albert Jay Nock in the early 1920s. It is radical, far-reaching, topical, and bracing in every way. Here we have a collection of what Nock himself considered to be the best of that journal, with many of the articles (probably even half) written by Nock himself. Don't expect anything conventional from this volume. This generation considered themselves to be not liberals or conservatives but radicals. Their judgments are often uncannily wise. Sometimes they are reckless. Sometimes downright wrong. But their writings are always interesting. This book should be of great interest to bibliophiles, although it is not a good choice if learning economics is your mission. As a snapshot in time, as a glimpse into radical opinion between the wars, and as a look at the history of libertarian ideas, this book is essential. It is very large, 416 pages in fact. There was no index, but we added an excellent and comprehensive table of contents, with authors clearly noted. All told, it is a fascinating package of ideology, commentary, and editorializing on events of the day, from 1920 to 1924.
