What did it mean for a Catholic priest to become a Protestant pastor and how did they relate to their flock? What did nuns and monks do when evicted from dissolved convents? How was the visual and acoustic culture of the city altered? What\u003cbr\u003eabout brothels or the belief in ghosts? What impact did the new theological conception of sexuality have on hetero- and homosexual couples? How much did the population cling to their religious habits or welcome or even ask for religious changes? Was magical healing to be tolerated or did it go against the new faith? Through careful examination of Zurich's rich archival sources, this volume answers these questions and brings to life the diverse experiences of men and women in the time of the Long Reformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrancisca Loetz \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Early Modern History at University of Zurich, Switzerland.
