Bibliographry

I chose to research the effects of print on the Reformation. The beginning of my bibliography is as follows:

Cracium, Maria and Ghita, Ovidiu and Murdock, Graeme and the contributors. Confessional Identity in East-Central Europe. Ashgate Publishing Company, 2002. Covers several topics relating to the role of printing in the Reformation.

Eisenstein, Elizabeth L. Divine Art, Infernal Machine
. University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011. According to Dr. Burton, Eisenstein is "the major person to have assessed the influence of printing upon Western culture." The second chapter "After Luther: Civil War in Christendom" should be especially pertinent. 

Fudge, John D. Commerce and Print in the Early Reformation. Brill Academic Publishers, 2007. This covers the topic of the effect of printing on the Reformation in detail.

Lindberg, Carter. A Brief History of Christianity. Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006. This concise history of the development of Christianity goes into detail about the Reformation in Europe in chapter 8.

Tyson, Gerald P. and Wagonheim, Sylvia S. Print and Culture in the Renaissance. Associated University Presses, 1986. Covers a range of topics related to printing and the Renaissance, most notably two chapters dealing specifically with the Reformation.

I went to the Harold B. Lee Library, searched for "reformation and printing," and explored the shelves in both the religion section. Like Royal Skousen, I like browsing. I nabbed the books that sounded relevant and left the library.

  1. It seems that Elizabeth Eisenstein had her hand in everything to do with Renaissance history!
