Book Overview

Wycliffe and the Lollards is a historical novel set in 14th century England, written by J.C. Carrick and first published in 1908. The book follows the story of John Wycliffe, a theologian and scholar who becomes a leading figure in the Lollard movement ������� a group of religious reformers who challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and sought to promote a more personal and direct relationship with God.The novel begins with Wycliffe's early years as a student at Oxford University, where he develops his radical ideas about the Church and the Bible. As he becomes more involved in the Lollard movement, he faces increasing opposition from the Church hierarchy, who view his teachings as heretical and dangerous.Despite the threats and persecution he faces, Wycliffe continues to preach and write about his beliefs, and his ideas begin to gain traction among the common people of England. However, his enemies in the Church are determined to silence him, and he is eventually forced to flee into hiding.The book paints a vivid picture of life in medieval England, with detailed descriptions of the political and social climate of the time. It also explores the complex religious and philosophical debates of the period, and offers a fascinating insight into the origins of the Protestant Reformation.Overall, Wycliffe and the Lollards is a gripping and thought-provoking historical novel that offers a compelling portrait of one of the most important figures in English religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
