After the acclaimed English translation of Huizinga’s Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen (Autumntide of the Middle Ages), LUP intends to publish a new English translation of Huizinga’s other famous book “Homo Ludens”, as there is no English version yet based on the original Dutch text. Diane Webb is once again responsible for the translation, with publication scheduled for spring 2025. Anton van der Lem and Peter Arnade are the responsible editors.
Given the continuing interest in this book and the influence it continues to have on various academic fields, it is surprising that an English translation based on the original Dutch version has yet to be published.
