Reviews

There is no better guide than Thomas Kaufmann to the Peasants' War of 1525, the first crisis of the Reformation. Here he offers a forensic and revelatory study of how the evangelical message fueled the grievances of country folk, how the printing press was co-opted to their cause, and how Luther's reaction did irreversible damage to his previously all-embracing movement. A must read book for all scholars of this period. * Andrew Pettegree, University of St Andrews *
