About This Book

A detailed social history of German society during the transition from the late Middle Ages into the Reformation era, examining popular religious stirrings, early peasant and urban movements, and the economic and legal factors behind social disintegration. It narrates precursory popular revolts and religious popularism, surveys contemporary literature and folklore, and analyzes municipal life, guild structures, and a noble revolt. The work traces changing relations between countryside and towns and outlines developments in jurisprudence. Appendices collect documentary material and source commentary to support the narrative.
