James Reston Jr. is a prolific, best-selling, and, based solely upon this work, highly skilled writer who has published seventeen books on subjects as diverse as General Sherman's march, the disgraced baseball legend Pete Rose, Galileo, Richard the Lionheart and the Third Crusade, the Reverend Jim Jones (of Jonestown infamy), the Frost/Nixon interviews, and the assassination of President Kennedy. He is a senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a self-administered institution established as part of the Smithsonian and based in Washington DC. In a short but inspirational seven-page, post-epilogue "Author's Note," he informs us that his desire to write a book on Luther emerged as he encountered him while researching and writing his acclaimed work Defenders of the Faith: Christianity and Islam Battle for the Soul of Europe, 1520-1536 (2009).
In Luther's Fortress, Reston seeks to illuminate Luther's stay at Wartburg Castle between May 1521 and March 1522, and the development of and threats to the nascent Reformation during his time there. The period between Luther's birth (1483) and the Diet of Worms (1521) is covered in just over twenty-two pages of fairly large print. Important themes and relevant events in both European history and Luther's personal and intellectual life, including Leo X's pontificate, the election of Charles V, the relationship between this pope and emperor, the Knights' Revolt, Luther's experience as a monk in Erfurt, the Leipzig Disputation, Luther's relationship with Johann von Staupitz, Luther's theological breakthroughs, and the controversy over indulgences are mentioned and dispatched fairly quickly. Despite the book's stated narrow focus, I would have appreciated a little more attention to these aspects of the broader context, as they are absolutely fundamental to a fuller understanding of both how Luther came to arrive at the Imperial Diet at Worms, and why he acted as he did there. Moreover, a lengthier discussion of some of these complex subjects might better serve the nonspecialist, for whom this work is presumably intended.
Reston's ability to convey the atmosphere so palpably, and to bring the various personae to life so vividly, is certainly the book's major strength and advantage. After bringing us to 1521, Reston recounts Luther's entry into Worms and his actions at the diet in a detailed, lively, and gripping "you are there" style that captures the tension and the suspense of this historical event far better than the typical academic book. Here, in a passage typical of his prose, Reston describes the scene immediately after Luther has refused to recant: "Pandemonium broke out. The emperor was confused. What had happened?... [Amid shouting] Luther was sweating profusely ... the emperor rose to his feet in fury.... [Spanish soldiers] fell in behind [Luther], hissing and shouting out, 'Into the fire with him!' Luther turned on them with a gloat and raised his hands high in the air, in the manner of a victorious Teutonic swordsman.... But this show of bravado did not comport with Luther's true feelings of terror" (pp. 39-40).
Such lively writing will surely make this book appealing to many readers. I must confess I was initially curious to encounter a book of popular history, of this length, focused on Luther's time at the Wartburg. Despite this engagingly descriptive style, however, there is, for the academic reader, not much engagement with the historical literature, nor much original analysis. For example, in the same section, Reston explicitly notes the oddity of Luther's immediate request for more time to consider his official reply, given that Luther had had weeks to prepare an answer, and knew his whole reason even for being there was to answer that specific question. Yet he offers no suggestions to explain Luther's hesitation, even if it does provide him with a compelling twist in the unfolding drama, of which he takes full literary advantage.
Another great strength of this book--and an enviable skill of Reston's--is his knack for wonderfully interweaving themes, topics, biographical sketches, and relevant asides into his overarching narrative. A discussion of Luther's correspondence with Melanchthon provides a fresh and enjoyably folksy mini-biography of Melanchthon and an appraisal of Luther's relationship with him. Another chapter provides a riveting focus on Henry VIII's and Thomas More's views on Luther, as well as Luther's responses to Henry. Reston synthesizes well: while I offer separate courses at my university on religion and politics in Tudor England, focusing largely on Henry VIII and More, and on the Reformation, focusing largely on Luther, I had never, until reading this chapter, considered the fact that their heated debates and various condemnatory publications arose during Luther's exile at the Wartburg. Two chapters in particular ("Unclean Thoughts, Devouring Fires" and "Wrestling the Devil") cover the physical, emotional, and psychological trauma that Luther experienced--and so graphically wrote about. While this material is standard fare in biographies of Luther, Reston's great skill as a writer brings Luther's suffering and torment to the fore in a more visceral way than one usually encounters. There are also large sections devoted to what Luther wrote while at the Wartburg, what happened in Wittenberg during Luther's absence, what Luther did to save his movement upon his ultimate return to Wittenberg, and, more atypically, what happened in Rome following the Diet of Worms. In an especially poignant section, Reston conjectures upon the manner by which Luther and the captain of the Wartburg would have celebrated the Christmas of 1521 together. Over the last thirty years I have read much of, and about, Luther, and have visited the Wartburg three times. Yet I had never reflected upon this subject, and it is to Reston's credit that he highlights such subtle but important aspects of Luther's exile.
Although Reston summarizes and explains Luther's major theological publications up to the Peasants' War of 1524-25 clearly and succinctly, he does so without much attention to the intellectual context of these writings; there is no discussion of the influence of Nominalism or of Augustine or of late medieval German mysticism on Luther's theological development. Likewise, there is no discussion of the crucial role Staupitz's religious positions played in Luther's evolving theology.[1]
