- Description
- Examines the apocalyptic genre of English short-verse prophecies, which were attributed to authorities such as Merlin, Bede, and Chaucer, who existed safely in the past but often also on the margins of political and religious orthodoxy. Popular from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century, the circulation of these prophecies was linked to Welsh rebellions and Wycliffism in the early fifteenth century.
