After a workshop on Johan Huizinga's "Autumn of the Middle Ages"

Published in 1919, Johan Huizinga’s Herfsttij der middeleeuwen (Autumn of the Middle Ages) is a historiographical classic that still stands as a touchstone for studies of the late medieval Low Countries. On the eve of the book's centenary, Columbia University's Dutch Studies Program hosted a workshop of scholars in history, literature and art history to assess Huizinga’s arguments, their impact on subsequent scholarship, and how two generations of research have updated or refuted them. The workshop took place on November 10, 2016 at Flanders House New York.
