This prize-winning account of the pre-Reformation church recreates
lay people's experience of religion, showing that late-medieval
Catholicism was neither decadent nor decayed, but a strong and
vigorous tradition. For this edition, Duffy has written a new
introduction reflecting on recent developments in our understanding
of the period. "A mighty and momentous book: a book to be read and
re-read, pondered and revered; a subtle, profound book written with
passion and eloquence, and with masterly control."-J. J.
Scarisbrick, The Tablet "Revisionist history at its most
imaginative and exciting. . . . [An] astonishing and magnificent
piece of work."-Edward T. Oakes, Commonweal "A magnificent
scholarly achievement, a compelling read, and not a page too long
to defend a thesis which will provoke passionate debate."-Patricia
Morison, Financial Times "Deeply imaginative, movingly written, and
splendidly illustrated."-Maurice Keen, New York Review of Books
