Beskrivning

Sixteenth-century Augsburg comes to life in this beautifully chosen and elegantly translated selection of original documents. Ranging across the whole panoply of social activity from the legislative reformation to work, recreation, and family life, these extracts make plain the subtle system of checks and balances, violence, and self-regulation that brought order and vibrancy to a sophisticated city community. Most of all we hear sixteenth-century people speak: in their petitions and complaints, their nervous responses under interrogation, their rage and laughter. Tlusty has done an invaluable service in crafting a collection that should be an indispensable part of the teaching syllabus. --Andrew Pettegree, University of St. Andrews

Recensioner i media

This volume brings readers face-to-face with the experiences of the ordinary people living in Reformation-era Augsburg. The translations are lively, vivid, captivating . . . the voices of these ordinary citizens are heard here as clearly as if they were sitting in the next room. The introductions--to the volume overall, to each of its major sections, and to each of the individual documents--provide just as much information as is necessary. . . . Tlusty strikes just the right balance between breadth and depth. Outstanding. --Constantin Fasolt, University of Chicago
