Congratulations to Professor Emeritus Michael Hayden and former U of S student (BA, MA) Professor Malcolm Greenshields (now at Lethbridge), who have just published Six Hundred Years of Reform: Bishops and the French Church, 1190-1789 (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2005). Mike and Malcolm shed new light on the medieval origins of the Catholic Reformation and the nature of the reform movement in the sixteenth century. Their work shows the importance of French bishops in starting the early-modern reform and their subsequent role in preparing the Catholic Church to weather the French Revolution. They also explore both the role of the French monarchy in the creation and collapse of the Catholic Reformation, and the changing attitude of peasants and the proto-proletariat toward official religion. Those of you keen to add to your collection of books by U of S history faculty might wish to note that Amazon.ca (but not Amazon.com) is offering a 34% discount just now. If you catch our drift.
