Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Counter-Reformation It is not always easy to define the correct use of even so well-worn a phrase as ´the Counter-Reformation.´ I have, however, done my best to suggest such a definition in the brief" Synopsis which I have prefixed to the following Essay, and which will perhaps under the circumstances not be regarded as altogether superfluous. Of the movement known under this name, I can hardly hope in the following sketch to have indicated more than the chief aspects, avoiding, as I very sincerely trust, at all events the worst of the pitfalls in the ground traversed. Religious partisanship, deplorable as it is in elaborate narratives, would be unbearable in a mere summary. As is well known, the characteristic powers of Ranke´s genius as a historian were never exercised more conspicuously than in tracing the co-operation of religions and political purposes and motives in the period of the Catholic Reaction. Besides his History of the Popes, his French History - perhaps the most, finished of all his great works - will from this point of view always remain invaluable to the student.
