La revuelta de las Comunidades de Castilla (1520-1521) es uno de los grandes problemas de la España Moderna. Numerosos historiadores se han ocupado de su dimensión política, institucional y social.

El presente libro se centra en los aspectos religiosos y culturales de la revuelta contra Carlos V, perspectiva generalmente ausente en las aproximaciones.
