Weathering the Reformation : Climate and Religion in Early Sixteenth-Century Strasbourg Hardback
by Linnea Rowlatt
Part of the Routledge Studies in Religion and Environment series
Hardback
Description
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.
Social uunrest and the cultural upheaval of Reform are examined in relation to deteriorating climactic conditions characteristic of the Spörer Minimum.
This book will be of particular interest to scholars of religious history and climate history.
