This book was released on 2007 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While a range of religious works written for lay-folk in late medieval England are prefaced by the author's hesitance to add to the growing "multitude of bokes and tretees drawne in englische, "1 the surviving works of Reginald Pecock boldly announce that they are the only necessary books for both lay and religious audiences, and furthermore, that they must be studied daily. This dissertation points to the ambitious nature of Pecock's comprehensive program for lay education, investigating the reasons why Pecock felt so strongly about the need for his rational, philosophical texts among pious lay readers. The first two chapters examine continuities between the sophisticated religious prose of the late fourteenth century and Pecock's corpus in terms of the way that these works sought to influence the pious laity through instruction on devotional practices: these chapters work from the understanding that critical focus on Pecock's rational approach to lay religion has obscured his commitment to challenging lay readers to develop spiritual practices rooted in both stirring the affect and stimulating the intellect. Chapter three analyzes Pecock's position on the controversial issue of lay Bible reading, highlighting his efforts to draw readers away from the Lollard textual community into a new community structured around the authoritative book of reason. Chapter four focuses on the relations that Pecock envisions between members of this textual community: Pecock's vision of friendship, love, and "felawlik comunycacioun" 2 between clergy and laity in his imagined textual community is situated within a range of late fourteenth- and fifteenth-century ideas about how to define proper relations between the clergy and laity at a time when knowledge and learning is passing out of the hands---and the control---of the trained clergy and into the hands of the untrained laity. The fifth chapter studies Pecock's views on the best way to educate the lay reader to ensure the most stability, spiritual profit, and harmony within the community, focusing on the way Pecock structures his works to facilitate the integration of various groups in the community through the progress and evolution of the lay reader.1 "Orologium Sapientiae or The Seven Poyntes of Trewe Wisdom aus MS Douce 114," ed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jennifer Summit’s account, libraries are more than inert storehouses of written tradition; they are volatile spaces that actively shape the meanings and uses of books, reading, and the past. Considering the two-hundred-year period between 1431, which saw the foundation of Duke Humfrey’s famous library, and 1631, when the great antiquarian Sir Robert Cotton died, Memory’s Library revises the history of the modern library by focusing on its origins in medieval and early modern England. Summit argues that the medieval sources that survive in English collections are the product of a Reformation and post-Reformation struggle to redefine the past by redefining the cultural place, function, and identity of libraries. By establishing the intellectual dynamism of English libraries during this crucial period of their development, Memory’s Library demonstrates how much current discussions about the future of libraries can gain by reexamining their past.
Download or read book Imagining the Pagan in Late Medieval England written by Sarah Salih and published by D. S. Brewer. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late medieval English culture was fascinated by the figure of the pagan, the ancestor whose religious difference must be negotiated, and by the pagan's idol, an animate artefact. In romances, histories and hagiographies medieval Christians told the story of the pagans, who built the cities that Christians appropriated and the idols that they destroyed and replaced. Encounters with traces of pagan culture in the present raised the question of whether paganity had been fully eliminated, or whether it was liable to recur.

Download or read book Broken Idols of the English Reformation written by Margaret Aston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 1994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.
