Barr, Helen. \u201cThe Deafening Silence of Lollardy in the Digby Lyric.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 243-260. [Barr examines the noteworthy absence of references to Lollardy in an early fifteenth-century series of lyric poems extant in Bodleian Library MS Digby 102. She argues that rather than directly condemn Lollards, as much contemporary Benedictine poetry did, these lyrics appropriated and adapted Lollard critiques to promote an orthodox agenda for church reform.]<\/p>\n

Bose, Mishtooni, and J. Patrick Hornbeck II, eds. Wycliffite Controversies<\/i>. Turnhout, Belgium: Brepols, 2011.<\/p>\n

—.\u00a0 \u201cReversing the Life of Christ: Dissent, Orthodoxy, and Affectivity in Late Medieval England.\u201d Johnson and Westphall 55-77. [Bose investigates how Wycliffite and other reformist writers used the life of Christ to \u201canchor, define, and legitimize\u201d their positions, describing Christ\u2019s vita<\/i> as common discursive ground for scholastic theologians. In addition to Wycliffite sermons, the essay analyzes works by Reginald Pecock and Nicholas Love\u2019s Mirror<\/i>.]<\/p>\n

Campi, Luigi. \u201c\u2018But and Alle Thingus in Mesure, and Noumbre, and Peis Thou Disposedist\u2019: Some Notes on the Role of Wisdom 11, 21 in Wyclif\u2019s Writings.\u201d Recherches de Th<\/i>\u00e9ologie et Philosophie M\u00e9di\u00e9vales<\/i> 80.1 (2013): 109-143. [The essay discusses Wyclif\u2019s use of Wisdom 11:21, a passage of scripture that, according to Campi, Wyclif regarded as \u201cthe most difficult verse in the whole of scripture\u2026due to the theoretical content it conveys, which relates to the issue of the creative, legislative and redemptive order imposed by God.\u201d]<\/p>\n

Craun, Edwin. \u201cDiscarding Traditional Pastoral Ethics: Wycliffism and Slander.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 227-242. [Craun demonstrates how Lollards adapted a pastoral discourse on fraternal correction to validate their criticisms of the contemporary church, especially those directed at friars. Among other texts, the essay features analysis of Pierce the Plowman\u2019s Crede<\/i>, Hou Sathanas & his Prestis & his Feined Religious<\/i>, and Of Pseudo-Friars<\/i>.]<\/p>\n

Dove, Mary. \u201cThe Lollards\u2019 Threefold Biblical Agenda.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 211-226. [Based on comments in the Prologue to the Wycliffite Bible, Dove describes the Lollards\u2019 biblical agenda as threefold: \u201cto enable simple people to have the Bible (or access to it), to understand it, and to live in accordance with it.\u201d This essay primarily discusses the issue of understanding scripture, comparing statements on literal and figurative interpretation in the Prologue to the Wycliffite Bible with other Middle English treatises on biblical translation, including The Holi Prophete Dauid<\/i>.]<\/p>\n

Forrest, Ian. \u201cLollardy and Late Medieval History.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 121-134. [In response to the increasingly interdisciplinary study of Lollardy, Forrest explores how \u201clollard studies\u201d have diverged from the disciplinary study of medieval history. Considering trends in scholarship on religious orthodoxy, the history of late medieval England, and the history of late medieval Europe, he proposes directions for future research.]<\/p>\n

Gayk, Shannon. \u201cLollard Writings, Literary Criticism, and the Meaningfulness of\u00a0Form.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 135-152. [Observing that scholarship on Lollard texts \u2013 even from literary scholars \u2013 focuses almost exclusively on cultural and theological content rather than aesthetics, Gayk argues for more attention to the form of Lollard writings. With reference to select sermons, the Lanterne of Li\u021dt<\/i>, and the trial of John Falks, the essay explores the potential for \u201cnew formalism\u201d to complement and enrich the historical study of Lollardy.]<\/p>\n

Ghosh, Kantik. \u201cWycliffite \u2018Affiliations\u2019: Some Intellectual-Historical Perspectives.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 13-32. [Ghosh analyzes the combination of scholastic discourse and anti-academic polemic in a Wycliffite treatise on the Eucharist (De oblacione iugis sacrifcii<\/i>), placing the treatise in the context a larger fifteenth-century debate over the appropriate method and style for theological writing, given its widening audience.]<\/p>\n

Hornbeck, J. Patrick. \u201cWycklyffes Wycket and Eucharistic Theology: Cases from\u00a0Sixteenth-Century Winchester.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 279-294. [Hornbeck examines records from two early sixteenth-century heresy trials in Kingston upon Thames and Farnham, asking what they can tell us about dissenters\u2019 use of vernacular texts and how those texts may have influenced dissenting views on the Eucharist.]<\/p>\n

Hudson, Anne. \u201c \u2018Who Is My Neighbor?\u2019 Some Problems of Definition on the Borders of Orthodoxy and Heresy.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 79-96. [With three vignettes, Hudson argues that there was considerably less division between \u201corthodox\u201d and \u201cheterodox\u201d texts in late medieval England than the writings of Archbishop Arundel or William Thorpe would suggest. The vignettes feature the Rolle Psalter commentary in Oxford Bodleian Library MS Bodley 953, contrary assessments of the orthodoxy of Dives and Pauper<\/i>, and Oriel College\u2019s commissioning of Wyclif\u2019s De civili dominio<\/i> and De blasfemia<\/i> in 1454.]<\/p>\n

Jurkowski, Maureen. \u201cHenry V\u2019s Suppression of the Oldcastle Revolt.\u201d Henry V:\u00a0<\/i>New Interpretations<\/i>. Ed. Gwilym Dodd. York: York Medieval Press, 2013. 103-129.\u00a0[Jurkowski reevaluates Henry V\u2019s reputation as a ruler who effectively administered justice in light of his handling of the 1414 rebellion lead by the Lollard-sympathizer John Oldcastle. Focusing on the diverse fates of rebels and the strategies employed to pursue the elusive Oldcastle, she points to frequent disregard for common law and suggests that the ability to purchase pardon significantly affected an accused rebel or heretic\u2019s fate.]<\/p>\n

—. \u201cLollard Networks.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 261-278. [Jurkowski asks whether Lollard networks extended nationally or just regionally, examining evidence regarding where Lollards preached, from whom they received support, and what professions they populated. She concludes that while we lack sufficient information to answer the question conclusively, Lollards felt<\/i> that their networks extended beyond local communities.]<\/p>\n

—. \u201cLa Noblesse anglaise de la fin du Moyen Age: Pour ou contre la d\u00e9fense de l\u2019orthodoxie religieuse?\u201d Le Salut par les armes. Noblesse et defense de l\u2019orthodoxie (XIIIe-XVIIe si<\/i>\u00e8cles)<\/i>. Ed. Franck Mercier, Ariane Boltanski, and Jean-Phillippe Genet. Rennes: Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2011. 227-38.<\/p>\n

—. \u201cWho Was Walter Brut?\u201d English Historical Review<\/i> 127 (2012): 285-302. [Going beyond study of Walter Brut\u2019s trial records, Jurkowski mines other documentary evidence for information regarding Brut\u2019s Welsh heritage and eventual involvement in Welsh rebellion, his potential education at a cathedral school and at Oxford, and his role as a landowner in Hereford, offering a more diverse portrait of this famous early Lollard.]<\/p>\n

Kuczynski, Michael P. \u201cAn Important Lollard Psalter in Trinity College Library.\u201d\u00a0Studies<\/i> 99 (2010): 181-187. [Describing features of Dublin, Trinity College MS 70, Kuczynksi argues why the manuscript, with its psalter, glosses, and works of religious instruction, may have suited the interests of its seventeenth-century Irish owner as well as fifteenth-century Lollards.]<\/p>\n

Lahey, Stephen. \u201cLate Medieval Eucharistic Theology.\u201d Levy, Macy, and Van Ausdall 499-540.<\/p>\n

Levy, Ian Christopher. \u201cThe Literal Sense of Scripture and the Search for Truth in the\u00a0Late Middle Ages.\u201d Revue D\u2019histoire Eccl<\/i>\u00e9siastique<\/i> 104.3-4 (2009): 783-827. [Levy studies the expanding notion of the literal sense of scripture in the later Middle Ages, especially its identification with the sense intended by its divine author, in the writings of five fourteenth- and fifteenth-century theologians: Richard FitzRalph, John Wyclif, Henry Totting de Oyta, Jean Gerson, and Paul of Burgos.]<\/p>\n

—. \u201cA Contextualized Wyclif: Magister Sacrae Paginae<\/i>.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 121-134. [Levy describes Wyclif\u2019s views on the authority of scripture, the nature of the literal sense, and the relationship between personal piety and exegesis as typical of late medieval theologians. He argues that because Netter and others distort Wyclif\u2019s beliefs, scholars too often read Wyclif\u2019s works through \u201cthe lens of heresy\u201d and disregard his more conventional theology.]<\/p>\n

Levy, Ian Christopher, Gary Macy, and Kristen Van Ausdall, eds. A Companion to the Eucharist in the Middle Ages<\/i>. Leiden: Koninklijke Brill NV, 2012.<\/p>\n

Lutton, Rob. \u201cLollardy, Orthodoxy, and Cognitive Psychology.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 97-120. [In an effort to \u201cdevelop frameworks for studying Lollardy and orthodoxy side by side,\u201d Lutton describes anthropologist Harvey Whithouse\u2019s model of religiosity and suggests how Lollardy may align with it. Lutton argues that Lollardy included both \u201cdoctrinal\u201d and \u201cimagistic\u201d modes of religiosity and proposes that dissent may have been a psychological reaction that attempted to \u201cre-enliven religious experience.\u201d]<\/p>\n

Malo, Robyn. \u201cBehaving Paradoxically? Wycliffites, Shrines, and Relics.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 193-210. [Malo challenges the idea that it would be unlikely for a Wycliffite to value a relic, arguing that Wycliffite treatises more often object to elaborate enshrinement than to relics themselves. Characterizing this criticism of enshrinement as a reformist critique, the essay features analysis of writings by Wyclif (and his opponents), Wycliffites, and Reginald Pecock.]<\/p>\n

Marshall, Peter. \u201cLollards and Protestants Revisited.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 295-318. [In this historiographical essay, Marshall reviews descriptions of the relationship between Lollardy and the English Reformation in scholarship from the end of the Victorian era to the present. He aims to place modern discussions of Lollardy in a larger history and argues that political and ideological concerns often affect scholars\u2019 assessment of its role in the Reformation.]<\/p>\n

Minnis, Alastair. \u201cWyclif\u2019s Eden: Sex, Death, and Dominion.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 59-78. [This essay analyzes De statu innocencie<\/i>, a speculative treatise Wyclif wrote about the condition of humanity in Eden. Minnis characterizes its subject matter as a typical subject of inquiry for scholastic theologians and often compares Wyclif\u2019s views on bodily pleasure, death, and dominion to Aquinas\u2019 writings.]<\/p>\n

Peikola, Matti. \u201cThe Sanctorale, Thomas of Woodstock\u2019s English Bible, and the Orthodox Appropriation of Wycliffite Tables of Lessons.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 153-174. [In this essay, Peikola describes different styles of the sanctorale<\/i> (lists of lessons for the feasts of saints) in Wycliffite Bibles and argues that changes over time point to an increasingly orthodox readership. In addition to outlining this broader phenomenon, he analyzes polemical comments in the Bible thought to be owned by Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester (London, British Library, MS Egerton 618) that challenge the sainthood of many canonized by the church.]<\/p>\n

Raschko, Mary. \u201c\u2018To \u00fee worschipe of God and profite of his peple\u2019: Lollard Sermons on the Parable of the Labourers in the Vineyard.\u201d Bose and Hornbeck 175-192. [This essay analyzes Middle English sermons on the Parable of the Labourers in the Vineyard, pointing out common interpretations in Lollard and mainstream sermons, including Mirk\u2019s Festial<\/i> and Wimbledon\u2019s Sermon, that encourage workers to remain within a three-estates model. Raschko examines how the Lollard writers direct this conventional social model to reformist ends.]<\/p>\n

—. \u201cOon of Foure<\/i>: Harmonizing Wycliffite and Pseudo-Bonaventuran Approaches to the Life of Christ.\u201d Johnson and Westphall 341-373. [Raschko demonstrates that the Middle English gospel harmony Oon of Foure<\/i> shares features with both Wycliffite translation and the Pseudo-Bonaventuran tradition. Examining the rearrangement of gospel sources and the varied manuscript contexts of Oon of Foure<\/i>, she suggests that those who translated and copied this version of the gospels aimed to facilitate Christian devotion and conduct.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
