Overview
Benjamin Kaplan, the low countries. New English Edition of Huizinga’s Autumntide Captures His Original Voice Better Than Ever. “The translator has captured Huizinga’s authorial voice''s poetic qualities without sacrificing the text''s readability. (…) The result is a version of the text that captures Huizinga’s original voice better than either of the two previous English editions.”; Birger Vanwesenbeeck, Los Angeles Review of Books. “One of the great merits of Webb’s new translation is that, for the first time, English readers get to encounter this lyrical Huizinga in all his splendor. Webb’s new translation is the first English rendition of Autumntide that comes equipped with a scholarly apparatus.”;
This new English translation of Huizinga’s Autumntide of the Middle Ages (Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen) celebrates the centenary of a book that still ranks as one of the most perceptive and in¿uential analyses of the late medieval period.
