This collection of essays examines the practical impact of religious change in Central and North Western Europe from the 15th to the 17th century.

Some historians relate macroeconomics and human agency to regional contexts; others focus on micro-spaces like houses, taverns and parish churches; even virtual or imaginary spaces (such as Purgatory) attract attention. This book examines the potential and limitations of spatial approaches for the political history of preindustrial Europe.
