Freiburg and the Breisgau: Town--Country Relations in the Age of Reformation and Peasants' War
This regional study examines the declining fortunes of Freiburg, a craft town on the Upper Rhine, and its relations with the surrounding Breisgau village communities. Here, Scott uses historical and economic geography to examine the town and surrounding villages as a totality rather than as isolated independent communities, focusing on the troubled period from 1450 to 1530 when the territorial expansion of Freiburg threatened the surrounding Breisgau villages and pitted burgher against peasant in a struggle for economic and political survival.

Praise for this book
"Scott has few equals as an expert on the economic and social facts of rural and urban life in southwestern Germany in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries....An impressive achievement."--American Historical Review"A regional study that transcends its declared scope....Important and interesting are his findings on the impact of the Reformation and the Peasants' War, which put in doubt some of the widely held views on the subject."--CHOICE
