Herfsttij der middeleeuwen

4.7 (3)
48

Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen is het bekendste werk van de historicus Johan Huizinga uit 1919. In het werk presenteert Huizinga het idee dat de overdreven formaliteit en romantiek van het laatmiddeleeuwse hofleven een verdedigingsmechanisme was tegen de toenemende verruwing van de maatschappij. Huizinga gebruikte voor Herfsttij kronieken en literatuur als bronnen en bewust geen archiefstukken. Zijn boek is, meer dan een kunsthistorische studie, een proeve van cultuur- en mentaliteitsgeschiedenis. Source: [Wikipedia](
