Marc R. Forster earned his BA from Swarthmore College and an MA and PhD from Harvard University. He has been Professor of History at Connecticut College since 1990. He has received fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation, the NEH, the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, and the Guggenheim Foundation to support archival research in Germany. Forster's first three books examined aspects of German Catholicism in the early modern period, with a focus on the development of Catholic identity in the rural communities of Southwest Germany. His fourth book is based on a study of court records and examines peace and conflict in German villages in the century after the end of the Thirty Years' War.
