Reformations Compared
Thirty years ago, Cambridge University Press issued a collective volume, edited by historians from the United Kingdom, describing how various European nations had developed different narratives about how the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation affected them.1 Now another collective volume from the same publisher, also edited by British historians, adopts a comparative regional approach to the Protestant Reformation. Its broad comparisons are…
English Private Money, 1648-1672
Between 1644 and 1672, England halted the production of its lowest denomination coins, prompting ordinary individuals and communities to create coins to address the shortage of small change. A large twentieth-century collection that includes over 13,000 such surviving tokens has largely been overlooked by historians and economists, despite the tokens' significance. In this source and others are a total of over 9,000 types of tokens, originating m…
The Talk of the Town
Internet social-media algorithms deluge today’s users with unreliable and sometimes contradictory information. This small but dense book offers some unusual perspectives about similarly unreliable and contradictory oral information five centuries ago in the small, prosperous, and autonomous Swiss city of St. Gallen, home of one of Latin Christendom’s most famous abbeys. Roth’s source, the “Commentaries” of linen maker Johannes Rüdinger (1501–1556…
Princely Funerals in Europe 1400–1700
In the aftermath of Brexit, is it wise to leave English-language scholarship about the history of early modern Europe’s principal funeral ceremonies in the hands of the European Union? This coffee-table book from a Belgian firm with three French co-editors offers a salutary warning. Its subtitle contains the word diplomacy, which one rarely encounters in its sixteen articles. It has two hallmarks of pretentious ornamental books—abundant illustrat…

Gendered Sovereignty
Coins have provided specific and concrete markers of official, legitimate political sovereignty since the time of the Roman Empire. Europe's female monarchs of the old regime, a group that has not been much studied, used numismatics in effective ways to enhance their official sovereignty. Throughout the entire period, most royal heiresses were married, and despite a persistent and widely circulated literature that preached wifely subservience, th…

The Cambridge History of Christianity
This authoritative volume presents the history of Christianity from the eve of the Protestant Reformation to the height of Catholic Reform. In addition to in-depth coverage of the politics and theology of various reform movements in the sixteenth century, this book discusses at length the impact of the permanent schism on Latin Christendom, the Catholic responses to it, and the influence on the development of the Orthodox churches. This comprehen…

Re-contextualizing British Witchcraft
Since the seminal study of English witchcraft c. 1970, such developments as England's entry into the European Community and the revival of witchhunting episodes in postcolonial Africa have blurred parts of the picture. Recent publications present an opportunity to make revisions to the classic view of British witchcraft, setting the subject within its proper European context while pointing out some of its distinctive features

Fear in Early Modern Society
These essays present an examination of the events and crises which generated fear in early-modern societies. They offer examples of fear, and popular responses to it. From the natural threats of fire, flood and plague to the theoretical traumas of death and the afterlife, this volume covers the panoply of personal and communal tragedies which tormented, tortured and terrified the early-modern world.

Myths about the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacres 1572-1576
An epochal event in French history, the St. Bartholomew's Day religious massacres are still the subject of controversy. A leading historian of the early modern period, Robert Kingdon, writes about the reactions to the massacres that were published at the time, showing how the relatively new medium of print was used by the Protestants to shape reaction to the catastrophe an early example of the printing press as an agent of social and political ch…

Heresy executions in Reformation Europe, 1520–1565
To the best of my knowledge, no general synthesis of trials and executions for heresy in Reformation Europe has ever been attempted. We are all aware that executions for heresy occurred throughout western Europe after Luther's successful defiance of papal authority in December 1520. We hear vague reports of massive executions of Anabaptists in the aftermath of the German Peasants' War, and again after the collapse of the New Jerusalem at Münster.…
Tolerance and Intolerance in the European Reformation
This volume offers a re-interpretation of the role of tolerance and intolerance in the European Reformation. It questions the traditional notion of a progressive development towards greater religious toleration from the beginning of the sixteenth century onwards. Instead, it places incidents of religious tolerance and intolerance in their specific social and political contexts. Fifteen leading scholars offer a comprehensive interpretation of this…
