Reformation(s): Belief and Culture in Early Modern Europe Reading List

Despite appearances, this bibliography is not exhaustive! You are encouraged to take initiative in seeking out additional relevant material in the University Library and on the Internet (be discriminating about what you use – try to stick to peer-reviewed journals).

There are overlaps between the various sections; please make appropriate cross references.

I try to keep this up to date, but that’s not always very easy – do let me know if you find something you think would be useful to include.
