Reihe: Studies in Central European Histories

This study is the most detailed treatment available of how the German countryside experienced the Early Modern era's most wrenching crisis: the Thirty Years' War. Drawing on a variety of sources, it presents an intricate picture not only of the war, but of the social relations and diverse political interests that were expressed in the village before and after the war as well. It is a major contribution to recent efforts to reconceptualize the themes and chronology of Early Modern German history.
