Description

A century before Martin Luther and the Reformation, Jan Hus confronted the official Church and helped to change the face of medieval Europe. A key figure in the history of Europe and Christianity and a catalyst for religious reform and social revolution, Jan Hus was poised between tradition and innovation. Taking a stand against the perceived corruption of the Church, his continued defiance led to his excommunication and he was ultimately burned at the stake in 1415. What role did he play in shaping Medieval Europe? And what is his legacy for today? In this important and timely book Thomas A. Fudge explores Jan Hus, the man, his work and his legacy. Beginning his career at Prague University, this brilliant Bohemian preacher was soon catapulted by virtue of his radical and popular theology to the forefront of European affairs. This book fills a real gap in contemporary understanding of the medieval Church and offers an accessible and authoritative account of a most significant individual and his role in history. Jan Hus belongs to the pantheon of extraordinary figures from medieval religious history. His story is one of triumph and tragedy in a time of chaos and change. Review 'An up to date, clear and authoritative treatment of Jan Hus. Hus is astutely and convincingly contextualized in a balanced and assured ensemble of different but complementary approaches. The whole book is set out on the basis of authority yet Fudge writes deftly and accessibly, handling technical themes with finesse.' --Norman Housley, Professor of History, University of Leicester 'This book fills a gap in the English-language historiography. It will be very valuable for those studying late medieval thought and the impact of religious and philosophical thinkers on society as a whole. I particularly liked Fudge's in-depth discussion of Hus's theology and spirituality. The treatment of the commemoration of Hus, the iconography which was produced, and the survey of the historiography is also very impressive and extremely useful, both for scholars and for students.' --Helen Nicholson, Reader in History, Cardiff University About the Author Thomas A. Fudge is author of 'The Magnificent Ride: First Reformation in Hussite Bohemia' and 'The Crusade Against the Heretics in Bohemia, 1418-1437'. He has worked as Senior Lecturer in European History at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. More recently he taught in the Texas prison system and served as Director of the Hewitt Research Foundation in Washington.
