Capgrave and Lydgate: Sainthood, Sovereignty, and the Common Good -- Epilogue -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index -- AcknowledgmentsBritain of the fifteenth century was rife with social change, religious dissent, and political upheaval. Amid this ferment lived John Capgrave-Austin friar, doctor of theology, leading figure in East Anglian society, and noted author. Nowhere are the tensions and anxieties of this critical period, spanning the close of the medieval and the dawn of early modern eras, more eloquently conveyed than in Capgrave's works. John Capgrave's Fifteenth Century is the first book to explore the major themes of Capgrave's writings and to relate those themes to fifteenth-century political and cultural debates. Focusing on Capgrave's later works, especially those in English and addressed to lay audiences, it teases out thematic threads that are closely interwoven in Capgrave's Middle English oeuvre: piety, intellectualism, gender, and social responsibility. It refutes the still-prevalent view of Capgrave as a religious and political reactionary and shows, rather, that he used traditional genres to promote his own independent viewpoint on some of the most pressing controversies of his day, including debates over vernacular theology, orthodoxy and dissent, lay (and particularly female) spirituality, and the state of the kingdom under Henry VI.The book situates Capgrave as a figure both in the vibrant literary culture of East Anglia and in European intellectual history. John Capgrave's Fifteenth Century offers a fresh view of orthodoxy and dissent in late medieval England and will interest students of hagiography, religious and cultural history, and Lancastrian politics and society.Authors, EnglishMiddle English, 1100-1500BiographyTheologiansEnglandBiographyGreat BritainIntellectual life1066-1485Electronic books.Authors, EnglishTheologians828/.209Winstead Karen A(Karen Anne),1960-241689MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463240003321John Capgrave's fifteenth century2490353UNINA03036nam 22005053u 450 991045664100332120210111223453.00-19-157352-3(CKB)2550000000005193(EBL)472094(OCoLC)609850388(MiAaPQ)EBC472094(EXLCZ)99255000000000519320130418d2009|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||The Complete Works of Gerrard Winstanley[electronic resource]Oxford OUP Oxford20091 online resource (472 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-19-957606-8 Contents; A Declaration to the Powers of England (The True Levellers Standard Advanced); A Declaration from the Poor Oppressed People of England; A Letter to the Lord Fairfax, and his Councell of War; A Declaration of the Bloudie and Unchristian Acting of William Star and John Taylor; An Appeal to the House of Commons; A Watch-word to the City of London, and the Armie; A New-yeers Gift for the Parliament and Armie; Englands Spirit Unfoulded.
