Book Reviews of The Autumn of the Middle Ages

Book Review: Autumn of the Middle Ages
Summary: 3 Stars

Was looking for Waning of the Middle Ages and found this instead. Apparently it's a different translation of the original work by Johan Huizinga. The authors of Autumn claim that Waning has a lot of misinterpretations of the original text (albeit Waning was co-edited by Johna Huizinga).

Autumn provides an insight into the life and times of the middle ages, leading into the Renaissance. The content is interesting, but the presentation is very dense and hotch-potch. The chapters are dilineated around a theme, but within the chapters the ideas are not structurally tied in a tangible sequence.

Good book...but only for the serious reader with the fortitude to plow through it.
