Overview

This is the second, amended and enlarged edition of a familiar standard work,
first published in 1958. Like its predecessor, it describes the open conflicts
of the Reformation from Luther's first challenge to the uneasy peace of the
1560's. Reforming movements in all the principal countries are discussed,
against the background of constitutional development and the political struggles
of the ruling dynasties. Europe's relations with the ourside world are given due
prominence. The second edition incorporates the results of some thirty years of
further research and fills some of the gaps, especially in the history of
central Europe, which beset the first edition. All chapters wich remain from
1958 have been revised, some very substantially.
