Life writing in Reformation Europe : lives of reformers by friends, disciples and foes by Irena Dorota Backus ( Book )
7 editions published between 2007 and 2008 in English and held by 271 libraries worldwide
This engaging study brings to light a largely neglected genre of Reformation literature, the Lives of various Reformers written after their death by contemporaries. Although far less well known than other types of writings, biography constitutes an important body of literature which sheds much light on numerous aspects of the Reformation. Utilising this important canon of reformation writing raises intriguing questions about the role of the individual and of Protestant hagiography, as well as the influence of classical and humanist traditions that stress the importance of the 'great' individua.
