- Description
- Investigates the extent to which ParsT as a manual of confession can be seen to encourage the process of "individualization" theorized by Michel Foucault and to subvert the "immense control that the Church had over medieval lives" and aligning with Lollard thinking. Designed for pedagogical use, includes several questions for discussion.
