essays in honour of Anne Hudson
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Brepols, 2005 - History - 448 pages
Reflects and develops Anne Hudson's pioneering work in textual criticism and religious controversy from the late medieval period to the Reformation. The volume explores the wide spectrum of religious thought and practices between c.1360 and c.1560. Many essays engage in the close study of manuscripts and archival holdings, disclosing new material and offering significant re-evaluation of documentary evidence and neglected texts. At a time of urgent calls for the reform of the Church, both in Britain and in mainland Europe, the voices of heresy cannot always be distinguished from those of orthodox critics. Anne Hudson's coinage of the term 'gray area' to describe the indeterminate boundary between radical orthodoxy and heterodoxy provides the lead for investigations into theological debate, devotional habits, and censorship. The volume significantly redefines our understanding of texts, history, and controversies from Wyclif to Bale.
