Lollards and their Influence in Late Medieval England

by Fiona Somerset

MembersReviewsPopularityAverage ratingConversations
10None1,832,998 (2.5)None
Who were the Lollards? What did Lollards believe? What can the manuscript record of Lollard works teach us about the textual dissemination of Lollard beliefs and the audience for Lollard writings? What did Lollards have in common with other reformist or dissident thinkers in late medieval England, and how were their views distinctive? These questions have been fundamental to the modern study of Lollardy (also known as Wycliffism). The essays in this book reveal their broader implications for the study of English literature and history through a series of closely focused studies that demonstrate the wide-ranging influence of Lollard writings and ideas on later medieval English culture. Introductions to previous scholarship, and an extensive Bibliography of printed resources for the study of Wyclif and Wycliffites, provide an entry to scholarship for those new to the field. The contributors include: David Aers, Margaret Aston, Helen Barr, Mishtooni Bose, Lawrence M. Clopper, Andrew Cole, Ralph Hanna III, Maureen Jurkowski, Andrew Larsen, Geoffrey H. Martin, Wendy Scase, Fiona Somerset, and Emily Steiner. Fiona Somerset is at Duke University, Durham NC; Jill C.; Havens is at Texas Christian University; and Derrick G. Pitard is at Slippery Rock University, PA.… (more)
