It focuses on the work of John Foxe, whose influential Acts and Monuments (1563) reoriented the lollards from heretics and traitors to martyrs and model subjects, portraying them as Protestants’ ideological forebears. It is a scholarly mainstay that Foxe edited radical lollard views to bring them in line with a mainstream monarchical church. But this book offers a strong corrective to the argument, revealing that the subversive material present in Foxe’s text allowed seventeenth-century religious radicals to appropriate the lollards as historical validation of their own theological and political positions. The book argues that the same lollards who were used to strengthen the English church in the sixteenth century would play a role in its fragmentation in the seventeenth.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 540gBook Series: Politics, Culture and Society in Early Modern BritainRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
