The socialist historian Belfort Bax looks past the theological disputes of the Reformation to everyday German life between the late fifteenth century and the Peasants’ War of 1525. He traces early social and religious revolts, the popular literature and folklore of the age, devils and marvels included, and the life of the German town.
