Taylor, Larissa (Editor): Preachers and People in the Reformations and Early Modern Period, Brill Academic Publishers, ISBN: 9004115641
Editorial Reviews\n\nProduct Description\nSermons are an invaluable source for our knowledge of religious history and sociology, anthropology, and the mental landscape of men and women in pre-modern Europe, of what they were taught and what they practiced. But how did an individual process the preached message from the pulpit? How exactly do written sermons duplicate the preached Word? Do they at all?\n\nThe 11 leading scholars who have contributed to this book do not offer uniform answers or an all-encompassing study of preaching in the Reformations and early modern period in Europe. They do, however, provide new insights on Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed preaching in Western and Central Europe. Part One examines changes in sermon structure, style and content in Christian sermons from the thematic sermon typical of the Middle Ages to the wide variety of later preaching styles. Catholic preaching after Trent proves not to be monolithic and intolerant, but a hybrid of forms past and present, applied as needed to particular situations. Lutheran homiletic theory is traced from Luther and through Melanchthon, the intention of the sermon being to transform the worship service based on exegesis of Scripture. In Reformed worship, the expository sermon, often given on a daily basis with a continuing exegesis, was designed to communicate the tenets of the faith in terms that the laity could understand (plain style). Part Two deals with the social history of preaching in France, where preachers often incited their hearers to attack human beings or holy objects or were themselves attacked; in Italy, where preaching became a collective and home-grown product; in early modern Germany, where the authorities strove for uniformity of preaching practice and the preacher was seen as a moral guardian; in Switzerland, where leaders from Zwingli on sought to bring religious practice, conduct, and government in line with biblical teaching and propagated a pastoral vision of preaching; in England, where after the Reformation preachers became the indispensable agents of salvation, but clergy and congregations were often ill-prepared for the task; in Scandinavia, where post-Reformation sermons have a clear didactic aim, teaching obedience to the authorities; and in the Low Countries, characterised by its numerous denominations, all with their own churches and particular practices in terms of preaching. The volume ends with a consideration of the influence of late medieval preaching on the Reformation, concluding that the diversity of emphasis on how the practice of penance was preached (and received) very likely affected the appeal (or not) of the Lutheran/Reformed message in a given country.\n\nAbout the Author\nLarissa Taylor, Ph.D. (1990) in History, Brown University, is Associate Professor of History at Colby College in Maine. She is the author of two previous books, Soldiers of Christ: Preaching in Late Medieval and Reformation France (1992), winner of the John Nicolas Brown Prize of the Mediaeval Academy of America, and heresy and Orthodoxy in Sixteenth-Century Paris (1999). , ISBN-13: 9789004115644

Comparative Rural History of the North Sea Area CORN 8 The management of common land in north west Europe, c. 1500-1850. M. De Moor, P. Warde, L. Shaw-Taylor (eds.) 264 p., 156 x 234 mm, 2002 ISBN: 978-2-503-51273-0 Languages: English Paperback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 60,00 How to order? This publication seeks to assess in a comparative framework the long-term management of the common lands - collectively managed resources such as pasture and wood which were central to the agrarian economy - and the relative success of strategies in providing the resources sought by the rural population. "This is a welcome reinvestigation of the role of commons in the wider rural economies of which they were such an important part." (Michael Turner, Economic History Review, 2003, LVI, 3, 582-583). "(...) we now have a most interesting comparative study that combines the systematic approach of the social sciences with up-to-date historiographies of commons in a large part of Europe, giving rise to new questions and research perspectives." (Petra J. E. M. van Dam, Environmental History 9, October 2004, 743-745) Until the 19th century very large areas of Western Europe were subject to some degree to common rights, where individual users collectively managed resources such as pasture and wood which were central to the agrarian economy. Much scholarship has focused on the dissolution of these rights and the effects of the enclosure of common land on society and agricultural productivity. In contrast, this volume seeks to assess in a comparative framework the long-term management of the common lands and the relative success of strategies in providing the resources sought by the rural population. Chapters covering northern and southern England, France, the Netherlands, Flanders, Sweden and northern and southern Germany examine the institutional and legal framework of commoning, the resources available and their value, the sustainability of practices, and policies of inclusion and exclusion among the group of commoners. Building on the theoretical insights of recent works on commonly managed resources, this volume, the result of an international collaboration in the CORN network, provides a series of detailed historical studies and is the first major work to address this central aspect of the agrarian economy in a comparative European context. "The book has provided a sound foundation for such research in the future and is recommended for the light that it sheds on an often neglected aspect of early-modern agriculture and rural society." (I. D. Whyte in H-Net Review, May 2003) "This is an exciting book by seven historians familiar with the history of Europe from the fifteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century." (E. Ostrom in The Agricultural History Review, vol 51, Part II, 2003, p.242) "Der Band durch die vergleichenden Studien mit mikrohistorischer Vertiefung neuer und anregender Ergebnisse bietet."(Cerman-Stefanova, Dana, in : Sehepunkte 04, 2004) "Der Sammelband zeichnet sich durch eine klare inhaltliche Struktur aus und richtet sich nicht nur an Experten und Expertinnen in diesem Forschungsfeld." (Cerman-Stefanova, Dana, in : Sehepunkte 04, 2004) "Es mas, a mi juicio nos hallamos ante un libro modelico en lo que se refiere a las precauciones y exigensias que deberian adoptar quienes se enfrenten a la tarea de editar si su intencion ultima es facilitar la comparacion y no meramente coleccionar curiosidades." (Berasain, Jose Miguel Lana, in : Historia Agraria 38, 2006, p. 174) Softcover Buch
