| Σύνοψη: | This book claims to restore Wycliffite ideas to their proper place at the centre of English literature from Chaucer to Lydgate. It discusses some of the works of Langland, Chaucer, Hoccleve, Lydgate, and Margery Kempe, with a few lesser writers. It aims to show that behind a great deal of this literature lies reaction to Wyclif and his ideas. The author argues that far from these authors being intimidated by the existence of censorship, as some have suggested, they all used and manipulated ideas started by Wyclif and his followers. Dr Cole considers that Courtenay in fact ‘invented’ Lollardy as a heretical threat because he could not control the University of Oxford and deliberately moved his attack outside it. |
