Frances Eastwood's "Geoffrey The Lollard" explores the ecclesiastical and political instability of medieval England via the angle of its protagonist, Geoffrey. As a passionate supporter of the Lollard motion, a sect that advocates for spiritual reform and Bible translation, Geoffrey will become engaged in his time's excessive theological strife. Set in the late Middle Ages, the radical chronicles Geoffrey's adventure as he struggles along with his perspectives, faces persecution from the Catholic Church, and navigates the difficulties of allegiance and moral sense. With every page, Eastwood depicts the difficulties confronted by means of Geoffrey and his fellow Lollards as they battle for non-secular independence and the proper to worship in keeping with their beliefs. Eastwood transports readers to the violent realm of medieval England, in which the battle between religious orthodoxy and riot keeps. "Geoffrey The Lollard" is greater than only a historical story; it's a fascinating exploration of religion, resilience, and the in no way-finishing look for reality and freedom inside the face of suffering.

Who were the Lollards? What did Lollards believe? What can the manuscript record of Lollard works teach us about the textual dissemination of Lollard beliefs and the audience for Lollard writings? What did Lollards have in common with other reformist or dissident thinkers in late medieval England, and how were their views distinctive? These questions have been fundamental to the modern study of Lollardy (also known as Wycliffism). The essays in this book reveal their broader implications for the study of English literature and history through a series of closely focused studies that demonstrate the wide-ranging influence of Lollard writings and ideas on later medieval English culture. Introductions to previous scholarship, and an extensive Bibliography of printed resources for the study of Wyclif and Wycliffites, provide an entry to scholarship for those new to the field.Contributors: DAVID AERS, MARGARET ASTON, HELEN BARR, MISHTOONI BOSE, LAWRENCE M.
