This study is a reconsideration of Jan Hus, a late medieval
Bohemian priest who was burned at the stake six hundred years ago.
His death sparked a social revolution. This book considers his role
as a priest and reformer in Prague, his martyrdom in Germany, and
his legacy. It attempts to provide an evaluation of Hus in the
context of the medieval world, especially by engaging in
alternative perspectives of his life and work. The core themes and
arguments are revisionist. These include seeing Hus properly as a
heretic, exploring Hus as a medieval man interested in more than
preaching, religious practice, and reform. The book sets out to
challenge traditional assumptions and seeks less to contribute to
monument-building than to challenge the prevailing views about Hus
and the interpretation of his life and thought. A conscious effort
has been undertaken to explore the historical relevancy of Hus and
to assess his contemporary significance. The book also places Hus
into a comparative context with the Reformation of the sixteenth
century.
