description: This book—a unique first-hand account of adolescence and young adulthood in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe—includes letters to, by, and about three boys from different generations and branches of the same Nuremberg family as they traveled across Europe and to the New World. Steven Ozment, one of the world’s leading Reformation scholars, has collected, edited, and commented on the letters, which offer a fresh, vivid picture of the personal life of youths in early modern Europe and of the world in which they grew to maturity.
