Not reforming the dead, which might outstrip even the most enthusiastic optimism of newly converted protestants, but how the Protestant Reformation impacted the religious activities relating to the dead is Koslofsky's (history, U. of Illinois-Urbana- Champaign) concern. He describes how sons and daughters stopped payments for intercession for the souls of their deceased parents; citizens mocked the relics of their patron saints; and people of all stations stopped buying indulgences, singing masses for the dead, and touching the relics of a saint. They also closed Purgatory. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
