This is the first book-length study of the influential cultural and
religious exchanges which took place between England and Bohemia
following Richard II's marriage to Anne of Bohemia in 1382. The
ensuing growth in communication between the two kingdoms initially
enabled new ideas of religion to flourish in both countries but
eventually led the English authorities to suppress heresy. This
exciting project has been made possible by the discovery of new
manuscripts after the opening up of Czech archives over the past
twenty years. It is the only study to analyze the Lollard-Hussite
exchange with an eye to the new opportunities for international
travel and correspondence to which the Great Schism gave rise, and
examines how the use of propaganda and The Council of Constance
brought an end to this communication by securing the condemnation
of heretics such as John Wyclif.
