The changes, associated with reformed Catholicism in the decades around 1600, and how they affected men and women, can only be understood by looking at the interactions between politics and social and religious requirements on a local level. This study, first of all, sketches the Austrian rural territory, that will be analyzed. Next, the local administrative disputes are outlined. The third chapter looks closely at one monastery estate, while chapter four details the administrators responsible for the implementation of policies. The concluding chapter concentrates on the experiences of women. Religious, cultural and women's historians, interested in rural social transformations in the early modern period, will find this an important book.

Like the popes in Rome, the Prince-Bishops of Salzburg ruled over substantial territories as secular princes. This book highlights their dual authority - the princely sword and the bishop's staff or crozier - and the basis of their economic power in their control of natural resources, such as salt.

2017Quotations: "My primary motivation for writing is to explore the complexities of the past and attempt to convey to my reader the rich texture and variety of early modem European histories, especially as they relate to central Europe and the lands of the Habsburg Dynasty. My work is driven by a love of archival research: the joy of discovery and creation, which comes from translating and transforming old documents into stories and analyses. I comb through thousands of pages of documents from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, talk with people about them and try to arrange narratives, based on these documents and conversations. I try to choose a wide variety of sources, juxtapose them and see that this juxtaposition reveals."
