For those who haven't fallen asleep simply from seeing the title... I've been reading a bunch of old Meta threads, and in one I saw this comment from u/sunagainstgold (which hopefully doesn't oblige them to answer this thread): "There absolutely are "anti-revisionist" works... German Reformation scholarship as an entire field did this from ~1970 to ~2000, first throwing ALL IN that the Ref was a socio-economic movement, and now...not so much. New narratives mostly account for social and economic factors, but they add them into the underpinnings of the old narrative (political/cultural) to make it richer, stronger, and more accurate."
Having studied quite a lot on the Reformation up till then, but little since, it would be interesting to hear more. Which pre-2000 stalwarts are out? Are there any papers or articles (as opposed to whole books) that give an idea of the changes? Also, is Reformation/religious history as much of a default topic in medieval and early modern as it used to be, now that there is a lot more social history being done?
As someone genuinely interested in this topic, can you tell me what the basic historiography on the Reformation? Right now your question seems geared primarily towards people who already are well read on the historiography of the topic.
