This is G.R. Elton's classic account of the Reformation, revealing
the issues and preoccupations which seemed central to the age and
portraying its leading figures with vigor and realism.
Professor Elton presents a lively and accessible overview of
this key era in European history. The book gives full attention to
religion and theology, restores Luther to the predominant position
from which it had become fashionable to remove him, and focuses on
Charles V as a pivotal player in the period. The text is a tribute
both to Elton's gift for concise exposition of complex historical
problems and his masterly command of narrative. The result is an
account of the Reformation era which is as clear-minded and
readable as any published in the thirty five years since its first
publication.
This new edition includes an updated bibliography and an
afterword by Andrew Pettegree placing Professor Elton's account of
the Reformation in its scholarly context.
