- Description
- Separate chapters are devoted to Lollard society, education, biblical scholarship, and the ideology of the movement as it relates to theology, ecclesiology, and politics. Chapter 9,"The Context of Vernacular Wycliffism," examines the question of Chaucer's Lollardy, especially in the Parson. Hudson assigns a more direct Lollard influence on the Reformation in England than has hitherto been suggested.
