Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This collection by the distinguished Dutch historian Johan
Huizinga (1872-1945) reflects the theme of its key essay, The Task
of Cultural History," throughout its pages. Huizinga's conception
of cultural history informs both his essays on historiographic
questions and those on such figures as John of Salisbury, Abelard,
Joan of Arc, Erasmus, and Grotius.
Originally published in 1984.

Johan Huizinga had a special sympathy for the complex, withdrawn
personality of Erasmus and for his advocacy of intellectual and
spiritual balance in a quarrelsome age. This biography is a classic
work on the sixteenth-century scholar/humanist.

This is a portrait of life, thought and art in 14th- and
15th-century France and the Netherlands. Regarded as an historical
classic by many scholars, it has also been criticized and
incorrectly translated. This edition corrects changes made by other
translators to the original Dutch text of 1919. For Huizinga, the
14th and 15th centuries marked not the birth of a dramatically new
era in history - the Renaissance - but the fullest, ripest phase of
medieval life and thought. However, his work was criticized at home
and in Europe for being "old-fashioned" and "too literary". Franz
Hopman adapted, reduced, and altered the Dutch edition, softening
Huizinga's passionate arguments, dulling his nuances, and
eliminating theatrical passages. He also dropped many passages
Huizinga had quoted in their original old French. Additionally,
chapters were rearranged, all references were dropped, and
mistranslations introduced. This translation attempts to correct
such errors, recreating Huizinga's Dutch edition, restoring the
missing material, including prose quotations in French with
translations, and returning the book to the form originally
intended by its author.
