Short description
Updated with the best of recent scholarship, while maintaining its hallmark features, the second edition of the The European Reformations is an outstanding introduction to the sixteenth-century reformations in Europe. New sections include coverage of the Catholic Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, and the Reformation in Britain. The book continues its tradition of presenting material in the most lively and accessible manner possible, and sets the origin of the reformation in the context of late medieval social, economic and religious crises, carefully tracing its responses and trajectories through the different religious groups.
