Description

In this widely praised history; noted scholar James D. Tracy offers a comprehensive; lucid; and masterful exploration of early modern Europe's key turning point. Establishing a new standard for histories of the Reformation; Tracy explores the complex religious; political; and social processes that made change possible; even as he synthesizes new understandings of the profound continuities between medieval Catholic Europe and the multiconfessional sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This revised edition includes new material on Eastern Europe; on how ordinary people experienced religious change; and on the pluralistic societies that began to emerge. Richly illustrated and elegantly written; this book belongs in the library of all scholars; students; and general readers interested in the origins; events; and legacy of Europe's Reformation.
