Summary
A gripping, original account of Europe in an era of tumultuous change.
From peasants to princes, no one was left untouched by the spiritual and intellectual upheaval of the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. Martin Luther’s challenge to church authority forced Christians to examine their beliefs in ways that shook the foundations of their religion. The subsequent divisions, fed by dynastic rivalries and military changes, fundamentally altered the relations between ruler and ruled.

Critics Review
Mark Greengrass succeeds brilliantly in bringing to life a vanished world that is consistently strange and surprising-and sometimes disturbing and repellent-even as he encourages us to recognise the ways in which it prefigures our own – Peter Marshall * Literary Review *The Penguin History of Europe series … is one of contemporary publishing’s great projects * New Statesman *
