This practice, in which the injured party had to confront the wrong-doer directly and privately, was known as fraternal correction. Edwin Craun examines how pastoral writing instructed Christians to make this corrective process effective by avoiding slander, insult, and hypocrisy. He explores how John Wyclif and his followers expanded this established practice to authorize their own polemics against mendicants and clerical wealth. Finally, he traces how major English reformist writing - Piers Plowman, Mum and the Sothsegger, and The Book of Margery Kempe - expanded the practice to justify their protests, to protect themselves from repressive elements in the late Ricardian and Lancastrian Church and State, and to urge their readers to mount effective protests against religious, social, and political abuses. 410 0$aCambridge studies in medieval literature ;$v76. 517 3 $aEthics & Power in Medieval English Reformist Writing 606 $aAdmonition$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChurch renewal$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChurch discipline$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChristian literature, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y1066-1485 615 0$aAdmonition$xHistory 615 0$aChurch renewal$xHistory 615 0$aChurch discipline$xHistory 615 0$aChristian literature, English (Middle)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a241.0942/09023 700 $aCraun$b Edwin D.$01052394 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459280503321 996 $aEthics and power in medieval English reformist writing$92483636 997 $aUNINA
