Praise for this book
'This book offers superb regional histories exploring the often complex relationships between towns and their rural surroundings, as well as the role of the territories in the region. Together they demonstrate many factors that shaped interactions between burghers and peasants. In addition, they show the benefits that regional studies can offer scholars of the period. The author indeed achieves one of his stated goals for this collection: to offer a framework (or methodology) for understanding regional histories by providing opportunities to compare and contrast local experiences. (...)
Overall there is rnuch to be gained by reading this collection; Scott provides a compelling critique of Blickle's Communal Reformation thesis and, perhaps more importantly, the essays use excellent local histories to compare and contrast experiences, encouraging readers to reevaluate their understanding of this region in the late medieval and early modern periods.'
