Focusing on the period between the Wycliffite critique of images
and Reformation iconoclasm, Shannon Gayk investigates the sometimes
complementary and sometimes fraught relationship between vernacular
devotional writing and the religious image. She examines how a set
of fifteenth-century writers, including Lollard authors, John
Lydgate, Thomas Hoccleve, John Capgrave, and Reginald Pecock,
translated complex clerical debates about the pedagogical and
spiritual efficacy of images and texts into vernacular settings and
literary forms. These authors found vernacular discourse to be a
powerful medium for explaining and reforming contemporary
understandings of visual experience. In its survey of the function
of literary images and imagination, the epistemology of vision, the
semiotics of idols, and the authority of written texts, this study
reveals a fifteenth century that was as much an age of religious
and literary exploration, experimentation, and reform as it was an
age of regulation.
