Communal Reformation is the most original and provocative book to appear in its field in the past quarter-century. It met with an enthusiastic response, particularly in England and the United States, when first published in Germany in 1985 and is now available in translation. Peter Blickle's groundbreaking study, which is intended for scholars and students interested in the history of pre-modern Europe, the development of Germany, the history of Christianity, and historical sociology, reconstructs the connection between the crisis of rural society at the end of the Middle Ages, the great Peasants' War of 1525, and the reformation as a social movement. Blickle focuses on southern Germany, Switzerland, and Austria in the later Middle Ages and Early Modern eras (roughly 1400 to 1600), though his work has important implications for the social and religious history of Europe as a whole.

Excerpt from History of the Great Reformation of the Sixteenth Century in Germany, Switzerland, &C, Vol. 1: Eighteenth Thousand The su denness of its action is one of these characters of the Reforma tion. The great revolutions which have drawn after them the fall of a monarchy, or an entire change of political system, or launched the human mind in a new career of developement, have been slowly and gradually prepared; the power to be displaced has long been mine and its princi pal supports have given way. It was even thus at the introduction of Christianity. But the Reformation, at the first glance, seems to ofi'er a difi'erexit aspect. The Church of Rome is seen, under Leo X., in all its strength and glory. A monk s aks, -and in the half of Europe this power and glory suddenly crum ls into dust. This revolution reminds us of the words by which the Son of God announces his second advent: As the lightning cometh forth from the west and shineth unto the east, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
