In perhaps the most penetrating look at the family cycle of late-fifteenth-century to early-seventeenth-century Germany, Steven Ozment illuminates with dazzling immediacy what family life at the time was actually like. As he did in his much praised The Burgermeister's Daughter, Ozment analyzes and weaves together primary sources to create a compelling account of family: courtship, marriage, pregnancy, child rearing, and the establishment of new families. In doing so he masterfully re-creates the social and political world of this dramatic period in German and European history.
