This study explores censorship in late medieval England, focusing on legal aspects and historical context. Censorship instruments are categorized by their focus - doctrines, books, or people. They ranged from book burnings to more subtle methods. While heresy was the most prevalent cause for censorship, sedition and magic were other areas.
