Prior to the Thirty Years' War, almost all of Bohemia's population
lay outside the Catholic fold, yet by the beginning of the
eighteenth century the kingdom was clearly under Rome's influence.
Few regions in Europe's history have ever experienced such a
complete religious transformation; because of this, Bohemia offers
a unique window for examining the Counter-Reformation and the
nature of early modern Catholicism. Converting Bohemia presents the
first full assessment of the Catholic church's re-establishment in
the Czech lands, arguing that this complex phenomenon was less a
product of violence and force than of negotiation and persuasion.
Ranging from art, architecture and literature to music, philosophy
and hagiography, Howard Louthan's study reintegrates the region
into the broader European world where it played such a prominent
role in the early modern period. It will be of particular interest
to scholars of early modern European history, religion, and
Reformation studies.
