An examination of the liturgical rituals of the high festivals of
the year and their reflection in the secular church. This volume
presents an examination of the liturgical rituals of the high
festivals from Christmas to Ascension in late Anglo-Saxon England,
particularly in the secular church. It expands the current
knowledge of liturgical practice in a period where there is little
direct evidence, using vernacular homilies and sermons - important
but neglected sources of information - to explore the extent to
which monastic practices were extended to the secular church.The
performative nature of litury and its spiritual, emotional and
educative value receive particular attention; the author argues
that preachers were often unconsciously influenced by the
liturgical experience of an episode rather than by the biblical
narrative which they were ostensibly retelling. M. BRADFORD
BEDINGFIELD gained his D.Phil. at Oxford University.
