Summary "The Age of the Reformation" by Preserved Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the profound transformations brought about during the 16th century, specifically focusing on the Reformation within the context of the concurrent economic and intellectual revolutions. It aims to analyze the intricate relationships between these movements and the pivotal changes in society at that time. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the sweeping changes that characterized this transformative era, emphasizing a unique convergence of transformative events, such as the rise of capitalism, the end of the Renaissance, and the birth of the Reformation. Smith discusses the ways in which the world underwent significant shifts in thought, societal structure, and religious dynamics. He paints a vivid picture of how societal changes, including the rise of the bourgeoisie, increased nationalism, and individualism, laid the groundwork for the Reformation, suggesting that these developments were mutually influential rather than isolated phenomena.
