Reviews

This is social history of the best kind: it takes an unresearched area, and makes one see the culture of the early modern town in a new light. Ann Tlusty has a deep knowledge of early modern Augsburg, yet her impressive research never swamps the reader. Throughout she makes vivid use of anecdote and example.--Lyndal Roper, Royal Holloway, University of London, author of Oedipus and the Devil: Witchcraft, Sexuality and Religion in Early Modern Europe
