by Anne Hudson

Cover of Selections from English Wycliffite writings

Selections from English Wycliffite Writings is a collection of twenty-seven often-ignored primary texts written between 1385 and 1425 by members of the Lollard sect in England. Through a variety of tracts, sermons, and satires, this edition illuminates the wide range of Lollard interests and preoccupations, such as a Eucharistic theology, criticism of the established Church, and insistence upon an English-language Bible. The text is in Middle English with extensive supplemental notes that help to fully explain the context of each work. This new MART edition comes with a revised and updated bibliography by the editor.
