New approaches to religious texts from the Middle Ages,
highlighting their diversity and sophistication. From the great age
of pastoral expansion in the thirteenth century, to the
revolutionary paroxysms of the English Reformation, England's
religious writings, cultures, and practices defy easy analysis. The
diverse currents of practice and belief which interact and conflict
across the period - orthodox and heterodox, popular and learned,
mystical and pragmatic, conservative and reforming - are defined on
the one hand by differences as nuanced as the apophatic and
cataphatic approaches to understanding the divine, and on the other
by developments as profound and concrete as the persecution of
declared heretics, the banning and destruction of books, and the
emergence of printing. The essays presented in this volume respond
to and build upon the hugely influential work of Vincent Gillespie
in these fields, offering a variety of approaches, spiritual and
literary, bibliographical and critical, across the Middle Ages to
the Protestant Reformation and beyond. Topics addressed include the
Wycliffite Bible; the Assumption of the Virgin as represented in
medieval English culture; Nicholas Love and Reginald Pecock; and
the survival of latemedieval piety in early modern England. LAURA
