Welcome to the Lollard Society
The Lollard Society promotes the study of John Wyclif, the Lollard movement, Jan Hus, the Hussites, and the religious, intellectual and cultural history of the later Middle Ages. It brings together scholars, teachers, students and others interested in Wycliffite and Hussite reform, their historical contexts and their wider influence.
The Society supports research and scholarship through its bibliographies and other online resources, academic conferences and sessions at major international medieval studies conferences. It also provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and the encouragement of new research and publications.
Explore Our Research Resources
The Lollard Society provides a range of resources for the study of religious reform and intellectual life in late-medieval England and Bohemia (part of the modern day Czech Republic). Our resources include bibliographies of primary and secondary sources, collections of scholarly articles and various other items relating to late-medieval spiritual and devotional texts. Visitors can explore important texts and reference materials, including the works of John Wyclif and Jan Hus and the Glossa Ordinaria, the standard biblical gloss of the Middle Ages.
