An account of how, in certain parts of sixteenth-century England,
challenges to conventional piety anticipated the Reformation. Here
is a richly detailed account of the relationship between Lollard
heresy and orthodox religion before the English Reformation. Robert
Lutton examines the pious practices and dispositions of families
and individuals in relationto the orthodox institutions of parish,
chapel and guild, and the beliefs and activities of Wycliffite
heretics. He takes issue with portrayals of orthodox religion as
buoyant and harmonious, and demonstrates that late medieval piety
was increasingly diverse and the parish community far from stable
or unified. By investigating the generation of family wealth and
changing attitudes to its disposal through inheritance and pious
giving in the important Lollard centre of Tenterden in Kent, he
suggests that rapid economic development and social change created
the conditions for a significant cultural shift. This study
contends that in certain parts of England by the early sixteenth
century piety was subject to dramatic changes which, in a number of
important ways, anticipated the Reformation. Dr ROBERT LUTTON
teaches in the Department of History at the University of
Nottingham.
