Recenzje

Nowakowska's research now provides a detailed case study tracing how this played out in the lands of the Polish monarchy. It further convincingly pinpoints the fundamental shift, not merely to a narrowing down of options, but to the changing discourse about doctrine initiated by Luther ... The implications of the hypothesis are far-reaching ... This book shows how important the study of Central and Eastern Europe is to the history of the Reformation. As the first monograph on the subject for over a century it brings the Polish material back into view and into contact with the core scholarship. On a higher level it prompts us to think not only about the catalysts for historical change, but also about how people lived through, experienced and recognized great historical changes as they happened.
