German Society at the Close of the Middle Ages

Zusatztext

"German Society at the Close of the Middle Ages" is a historical novel about the German people. The work aims at giving English readers a general view of the social condition and the popular movements of Germany during the period known as that of the Reformation. It deals with a period limited, roughly speaking, by the closing years of the fifteenth century on the one side, and by 1525, the year of the great Peasant rising, on the other. It contains a narrative of the earlier popular revolutionary movements at the close of the Middle Ages, the precursors of the Peasants' War; and it also deals with the underlying causes, economic, social and juridical, of the general disintegration of the time.
