Jan Hus (1371-1415) gave his name to a social and religious
revolution which captured the attention of Europe. The central
figure in a late medieval reform movement, he died a condemned
heretic. Martyrdom made him famous but his essential identity has
remained a point of controversy. Who was Jan Hus? This work
explores the driving forces in the life and work of this medieval
priest as he moved from obscurity to the vulnerability of a
publicly accused heretic and the disgraceful prelude to martyrdom.
It also focuses on the construction and facilitation of the memory
of Jan Hus. Historical facts are often compelling but these
postulations cannot be approached apart from the manner and process
in which those events are remembered.This book illuminates the life
and work of the medieval priest and martyr who rose from humble
origins to national hero and popular saint on the platform of a
unique and renewed practice of the Christian faith. So profound
were his challenges to the church and so bellicose were the
reactions to his untimely demise, that the name Jan Hus was
destined never to fade into oblivion.
