The Premature Reformation - Wycliffite Texts and Lollard History (Hardcover)

Lollardy, the movement deriving from the ideas of John Wyclif at
the end of the fourteenth century, was the only heresy that
affected medieval England. The history of the movement has been
written hitherto largely from accounts and documents put together
by its enemies which, as well as being hostile, distort and
simplify the views, methods, and developments of Lollardy. This new
study represents the most complete account yet of the movement that
anticipated many of the ideas and demands of the sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century reformers and puritans. For the first time, it
brings together the evidence concerning Lollardy from all sources:
texts composed or assembled by its adherents, episcopal records,
chronicles, and tracts written against Wyclif and his followers by
polemicists. In the light of all this evidence a more coherent
picture can be drawn of the movement; the reasoning that lay behind
radical opinions put forward by Wyclif's disciples can be
discerned, and the concern shown by the ecclesiastical authorities
can be seen to have been justified.
