C raig H arline . A World Ablaze
Historical scholarship can pride itself that it keeps pouring out books about topics that interest a wider public and that are written in a language and have a makeup that will be accessible and a good read for the layperson outside academia just as well as for the specialist. Both volumes in question—Craig Harline’s A World Ablaze and Richard Rex’s The Making of Martin Luther—serve that goal, no matter what individual points of critique are cont…
Monarchy Transformed
This decisive contribution to the long-running debate about the dynamics of state formation and elite transformation in early modern Europe examines the new monarchies that emerged during the course of the 'long seventeenth century'. It argues that the players surviving the power struggles of this period were not 'states' in any modern sense, but primarily princely dynasties pursuing not only dynastic ambitions and princely prestige but the conse…
The Origins of the Thirty Years War and the Revolt in Bohemia, 1618, written by Geoff Mortimer
Luther’s Legacy
In this new account of the emergence of a distinctive territorial state in early modern Germany, Robert von Friedeburg examines how the modern notion of state does not rest on the experience of a bureaucratic state-apparatus. It emerged to stabilize monarchy from dynastic insecurity and constrain it to protect the rule of law, subjects, and their lives and property. Against this background, Lutheran and neo-Aristotelian notions on the spiritual a…

Westphalia
Derek Croxton’s work fully deserves the praise given to it on the book’s back cover. The content is organised in three large, mainly chronological, sections. The first section includes an introduction to the topic and chapters on the ‘Thirty Years War’, the ‘Origins of the Congress’, ‘Governments and Goals’ and ‘Structures’, addressing major characteristics of the interrelation of the ongoing war and negotiations at Münster and Osnabruck. The sec…

Christine Kooi. Calvinists and Catholics during Holland's Golden Age
That there was a surprising degree of practical toleration of different creeds and a lack of open mutual hostility or violence among Protestants and Catholics, as well as other groups, within the Dutch Republic did not escape the notice of seventeenth-century contemporaries. It has been an issue of consideration and research ever since. Willem Frijhof, Jonathan Israel, and Henk van Nierop have all written extensively on this issue, from various p…
Origins of Modern Germany
This article traces the origins of German history; the outcome the Western Federal Republic of 1949–1989, curiously similar to the Eastern Franconian Empire of Ludwig the German emerging with the treaty of Verdun, and the unified Germany at the second half of the twentieth century. Early modern Germans had a wide number of varying and partly contradictory ideas about the relation of empire, nation, and fatherland. This article traces the establis…
Diversity and Dissent
The Juridification of Natural Law
Luther's early statements, such as that belief is a ‘free work’ and must not be coerced, gained crucial relevance in the juridical debates about the meaning of the Augsburg Peace of Religion in the empire. Christoph Besold was among those transforming the reformers' message into a legal claim of subjects against their governments, based on an alleged natural right to believe what one wants. He thus transferred Luther's claim based on the reformer…
The character of English rural society
The holy grail for many historians of the medieval English economy is the reconstruction-albeit speculatively-of the practices, strategies, and success of peasant agriculture.In contrast to the surfeit of information about great landlords, documentary evidence provides only glimpses of the peasant economy.Peasants and production is therefore eye-catchingly bold as a title and the nature of the evidence used appears eye-catching, too.The book repo…
The Problems of Passions and of Love of the Fatherland in Protestant Thought
Love of the fatherland remained an important topos in late medieval and early modern Europe, but a highly ambiguous one. While in classical thought, in particular in Cicero, love of the fatherland is, beside the saving of the common weal, one of the reasons giving citizens an informal office to act without possessing a formal office, and resurfaced thus in texts on resistance during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the medieval and also e…
The Making of Patriots
Dickens, the German Reformation, and the issue of nation and fatherland in early modern German history
This article offers an outline of the historiographical developments in German Reformation history since the later nineteen-sixties. It argues that Dickens picked up major issues in his treatment of the German Reformation that have again come to the fore in recent years. In particular, his combination of local social history with the history of political thought, and with the history of the new pamphlet medium that emerged from the early sixteent…

Reformation of Manners and the Social Composition of Offenders in an East Anglian Cloth Village
The relationship between population growth and growing social differentiation and the appeal of Puritanism to—and its effect on— parts of English society has been the subject of much debate ever since the publication of Christopher Hill's Society and Puritanism . The problem was reformulated and elaborated by Keith Wrightson and David Levine, whose studies focused on the village level. They described in detail the effect of Puritan preaching on l…
