Martin Luther: Manhood and Pugilism
-
This is a past event
Free talk on the history of early modern society, gender and culture around the German Reformation.
Professor Roper's recent book on Martin Luther provides a critical reassessment of the German Reformer during the anniversary of his alleged 'posting of the 95 theses' on a church door in Wittenberg. Luther, not the 'deus ex machina', and not the benign reformer, but a manipulative and belligerent misogynist with bawdy humour?
Admission Free. All Welcome.
