Description

The Hussites, as the Bohemian reformists have come to be called, became one of the most vocal and influential reform movements of the late Middle Ages, with significance for the reformations of the sixteenth century and later. They represented an interchange between "town and gown" that was largely unprecedented in medieval Europe. Scholarship on the Hussites has a long and distinguished tradition, and current studies must continually contend with a historiography that is implicated in the nationalism, confessionalism, and politics of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume gives students and scholars a clear sense of the historiography and current trends in Hussite studies, as well as concise statements on major emphases in Hussite theology, ecclesiology, philosophy, and religious practice. Contributors are: Eliska Batova, Pavlina Cermanova, Dusan Coufal, Phillip Haberkern, Ota Halama, David Holeton, Stephen Lahey, Jindrich Marek, Pavel Kolar, Olivier Marin, Petra Mutlova, Pavlina Rychterova, Pavel Soukup, Michael Van Dussen, and Blanka Zilynska.
