• The Printing Press
Quotes: "The roughly simultaneous development of the Printing Press resulted in the widespread dissemination of the Protestant ideas and won many converts to the cause of religious reform. People took their religion very seriously, and disagreements between the Protestants and the Roman Catholics soon warmed from debate to civil war in France, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, and Scotland"(Cook).
Paraphrasing: The development of the Printing Press caused a widespread in Protestant ideas. This inspired people

• Works of Literature
Quotes: "Impressively imaginative works of literature flowed from the pens of writers and poets on both sides of the religious controversy. On the one hand we see works like Théodore Agrippa D'Aubigne's Les Tragiques (1616) chronicling the tragic outcomes of the French civil war from a Protestant perspective, or John Milton's Protestant epic of universal history, Paradise Lost"(Cook).
Paraphrasing: Many imaginative works of literature arose during the Protestant Reformation. Both the Catholics and the Protestants produced works. On the Catholic side, Les Tragiques came about and discussed the outcome of the French Civil War. On the Protestant side, John Milton wrote Paradise Lost which discussed universal history.
Comment: This quote is relevant to my thesis because it provides examples of literary works throughout the reformation. Cook talks about literary works both sides creates, and discusses the Protestant epic Paradise

• Elementary Schools
Quotes: "Thus in every Protestant country a new demand for vernacular schools was created. And these schools became the elementary school for the common people. Before the Reformation, the ordinary man had no occasion to learn to read. Education was reserved to the scholar, the statesman, the diplomat, and the churchman"(Donavan 71).
Paraphrasing: Every Protestant country was in need of a school in the vernacular. As a result, elementary schools were created and they taught the common people. Before the Protestant Reformation, people did not have the need to learn to read or write. In fact, education was reserved for the upper class.
Comment: This quote is relevant to my thesis because is discusses the demand for elementary schools. These schools taught the common people how to read and write.
