Lollards in the English Reformation History, Radicalism, and John Foxe

Analysing the lollard legacy in the post-Reformation era, this book identifies the significance of John Foxe's Acts and Monuments in shaping these medieval dissenters for early moderns. It shows that Foxe left much of their radical beliefs intact, inadvertently contributing to later contentions in the Church of England's struggle for identity.
