This collection of essays examines the practical impact of
religious change in Central and North Western Europe from the 15th
to the 17th century. It focuses on the effects of reform on clergy,
church resources, ecclesiastical patronage, education and poor
relief. The title reflects the elementary conclusion that there was
no one monolithic experience of 'Reformation', that initiatives
were taken for very different reasons, and that they displayed
innovative as well as conservative features. While offering a great
breadth of original research and subject matter, all authors devote
particular attention to three main themes: the blend between
continuity and change, the share of religious factors in
socio-economic developments, and the identification of winners and
losers. Taken together, the essays illustrate the scarcity of
unambiguous trends, the tenacity of socio-economic structures, the
modification of religious dogma by the 'real' world, and the
conspicuous benefits of religious change for the social elites.
