368 pages. The book is a landmark study of the cultural mood of fourteenth and fifteenth century France and the Netherlands. Huizinga argues that late medieval society was marked by intense emotion, elaborate symbolism, and a love of ceremony signs of a civilisation reaching the end of its creative cycle. He explores chivalry, religious devotion, courtly life, visual art, and the mental habits of the age, showing how medieval forms were giving way to the emerging sensibilities of the Renaissance.
