Between the religious massacres, conflicts and martyrdoms that
characterised much of Reformation Europe, there seems little room
for a consideration of the concept of moderation. Yet it was
precisely because of this extremism that many Europeans, both
individuals and regimes, were forced into positions of moderation
as they found themselves caught in the confessional crossfire. This
is not to suggest that such people refused to take sides, but
rather that they were unwilling or unable to conform fully to
emerging confessional orthodoxies. By conducting an investigation
into the idea of 'moderation', this volume raises intriguing
concepts and offers a fuller understanding of the pressures that
shaped the confessional landscape of Reformation Europe. A number
of essays present case studies examining 'moderates' who existed
uneasily in the space between coercion and persuasion in Britain,
France and the Holy Roman Empire. Others look more broadly at local
and national attempts at conciliation, and at the way the rhetoric
of moderation was manipulated during confessional conflict. These
are all drawn together with a substantial introduction and
analytical conclusion, which not only tie the volume together, but
which also pose wider conceptual and methodological questions about
the meaning of moderation.
