In this small gem of Reformation research, Peter Matheson offers a rich view of the Reformation as it appeared in pamphlets and sermons, woodcuts and paintings, poetry and song, correspondence and the contours of daily life. The popular media he explores evince the Reformation's novel use of images and metaphors, its deep effects on personal and family life and spirituality, heightened civic engagement, great utopian dreams and experiments, as well as its nightmarish excesses.
Peter Matheson is translator and editor of The Collected Works of Thomas Muntzer (1998) and of Argula von Grumbach: A Woman's Voice in the Reformation (1995), and author of The Rhetoric of the Reformation (1998), all from T. & T. Clark.
