| Summary: | Physical and social frames : the Upper Rhine Valley and pre-reform Alsatian society -- Pre-reform Roman Catholicism and nature in 1509 (case study 1) -- The common man and the natural world from Lent 1509 to 1525 (case study 2) -- The reform of nature in Strasbourg (case study 3) "Weathering the Reformation explores the role of the Little Ice Age in early modern Christian culture and considers climate as a contributing factor in the Protestant Reform. The book focuses on religious narratives from Strasbourg between 1509 and 1541, pivotal years during which the European cultural concept of nature splintered along confessional differences. Together with case studies from antagonistic religious communities, Linnéa Rowlatt draws on annual weather reports for a period during which the climate became less hospitable to human endeavours. Deteriorating climatic conditions, characteristic of the Spörer Minimum, are examined in relation to social unrest and the cultural upheaval of Reform. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars of religious history and climate history"-- |
