This book, first published in 1979, presents a series of important
investigations into the German Peasant War of 1525 - the last great
peasant revolt and the first modern revolution. Previously
under-studied by English-speaking historians, these essays provide
a valuable analysis of the aims and extent of the Peasant War, and
are representative of the various elements in the historiographical
debate.
When originally published in 1982 this was the first biography of
Maximilian I to appear in English for half a century. It assesses a
man who was Holy Roman Emperor, founder of the modern Austrian
state and the grandfather of Charles V and Ferdinand I. Maximilian
was a key figure and an appreciation of his role and career is
vital to an overall view of European society and politics at the
dawning of modern times. The book gives an insight into
Maximilian's style of government and reveals the underlying
personal factors that determined many of the key decisions which
influenced politics and control during his reign.
