Peasant Fires Wunderli Richard
" . . . " --Speculum "Wunderli . . . lively and intellectually stimulating . . .
this engaging narrative takes off from Hans Behem--the peasant who claimed to see the Virgin and gained followers until crushed by the established church--to explore larger forces at work in Germany on the eve of the Reformation. . . has lucidly reconstructed a controversial conflict in 15th-century south-central Germany. . . . Wunderli also attempts to sort out the violent conflict that ensued and Hans's subsequent trial.
His scrupulousness and sensitivity make for a small but valuable book." --Publishers Weekly "Fascinating and well written, this is highly recommended for academic and larger public libraries." --Library Journal "Richard Wunderli . . . deftly tells the story in Peasant Fires, finding in it a foreshadowing of peasant uprisings in the 16th century." --New York
