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.
