Erasmus and the Age of Reformation

Published in 1924, 'Erasmus and the Age of Reformation' by Johan Huizinga examines the life and influence of Erasmus, a pivotal intellectual figure in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Reformation. This work serves as a companion to Huizinga's earlier book, 'The Waning of the Middle Ages,' focusing on the cultural and intellectual shifts in France and the Netherlands during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Huizinga's admiration for Erasmus is evident throughout, highlighting the scholar's significance in shaping modern thought.
