Governments severely persecuted dissident views in such delicate issues as revolts. Observers abroad had no such divided loyalties and were freer to reflect upon the events. Therefore, the book focuses mainly on representations of revolts across borders.

Rather than attributing this enduring popularity to any particular quality of universality, this study sugge...
Church Robbers and Reformers in Germany, 1525-1547
