Overview

In the introduction to The Life and Times of Master John Hus, Count Lützow explains, “I write as a fervent admirer of Huss, both as an enthusiastic Bohemian patriot and as a fervent and pious Christian.” He provides a short account of Europe and Bohemia at the time of Huss and examines Huss’ forerunners: leaders who began to lay the groundwork for returning the church back to simplicity. Lützow then narrates the beginning of Huss’ opposition to the Church of Rome and follows the progression of his life and work until his death. Lützow also examines Huss’ patriotism, surveys Huss’ writings, and previews the lead-up to the The Hussite Wars.
