This book examines the afterlife of the lollard movement,
demonstrating how it was shaped and used by evangelicals and
seventeenth-century Protestants. It focuses on the work of John
Foxe, whose influential Acts and Monuments (1563) reoriented the
lollards from heretics and traitors to martyrs and model subjects,
portraying them as Protestants' ideological forebears. It is a
scholarly mainstay that Foxe edited radical lollard views to bring
them in line with a mainstream monarchical church. But this book
offers a strong corrective to the argument, revealing that the
subversive material present in Foxe's text allowed
seventeenth-century religious radicals to appropriate the lollards
as historical validation of their own theological and political
positions. The book argues that the same lollards who were used to
strengthen the English church in the sixteenth century would play a
role in its fragmentation in the seventeenth. -- .
