The Detection of Heresey in Late Medieval England

Only a few scholarly articles among the considerable body of secondary literature published on the Lollard or Wycliffite heresy in the last fifty years have focused on the detection and prosecution of this heretical sect; most students of Lollardy have studied either the Lollards themselves or their writings. This monograph, based upon the author's recent doctoral thesis, is thus the first to examine systematically the detection of late medieval heresy in England. It approaches the subject from the point of view of the hunter, rather than the hunted.
