- This, an ambitious, multi-layered work of cultural history, is one of the most original books produced in response to the 2017 Luther/Reformation quincentenary. Drawing on an impressively eclectic range of sources in both English and German – historical and historiographical works; paintings and engravings; films, novels and poetry; travelogues and newspapers – it tracks over five centuries the significance of an ‘imagined event’: Luther’s posting of the 95 Theses in October 1517. In the process, it provides an incisive analysis of the cultural construction of ‘the Reformation’, as well as a methodologically innovative case-study in the production of historical memory.
