'There is much else to savor in this concise study, enlivened by many touches of straight-faced humor. Backus leads us from the world of Reformation polemic through to the beginnings of modern scientific history in the late seventeenth century, in a book of compelling interest and exemplary scholarship.' Diarmaid MacCulloch, Biography '...Backus provides the reader with a very thorough and stimulating entry into the Lives literature of the Reformation, which in turn provides further insight into larger questions of Wirkungsgeschichte in Reformation Europe.' Erik Hermann, Catholic Historical Review 'Irena Backus displays her expert command of the ideas and texts of Reformation Europe in this important study of biographies of leading reformers.' Archives 'The first full-length study of Life-writings of the Reformers by Irena Backus is a delightfully original integration of intellectual and cultural Reformation history. Backus's easy mastery of primary source material once again confirms her established reputation in Reformation research... The book is ... a model for future research that integrates social and intellectual history by deeply discerning the relationships and conflicts between individual historical figures.' Zwingliana 'This book renders an important service to Reformation scholarship by opening up a new area of research, and is a worthy successor to Backus's previous studies of history-writing in the sixteenth century. It will be essential reading for historians and historical theologians alike.' Journal of Theological Studies 'Backus has identified the salient nuances that make the lifewriting genre so variegated. ... We can be grateful for such a careful analysis of this body of writing.' Ralph Keen, Catholic Historical Review 'Like everything that Backus does, this book demonstrates meticulous research. It is full and careful, giving the story behind the persisting interpretations of major Protestant Reformers.' Journal oMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
