Andrew Cole demonstrates how Chaucer, Langland, Kempe, Hoccleve and Lydgate were influenced by ideas though heretical in their time. Drawing on literary criticism, history, theology and law, this book revaluates the heresy of Wycliff and his followers as the most significant intellectual context for late medieval English writing.
