German Society at the Close of the Middle Ages (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781463637972)

The work aims at giving English readers a general view of the social condition and the popular movements of Germany during the period known as that of the Reformation. In accordance with this plan, I have only touched incidentally upon the theological disputes then currently uppermost in the thoughts of men, or upon the purely political side of things. They are dealt with merely in so far as they immediately strike across the path of social and internal affairs. The present volume, which has a more general character than its successors, deals with a period limited, roughly speaking, by the closing years of the fifteenth century on the one side, and by 1525, the veer of the great Peasant rising on the other. It contains narrative of the earlier popular revolutionary movements at the close of the Middle Ages, the precursors of the Peasants
