Lutterworth: John Wycliffe's Town

By A.H. Dyson and Dyson A.H.

Book Overview

In a quiet Leicestershire market town, a radical idea once took root. The past still speaks here. "Lutterworth: John Wycliffe's Town" by A. H. Dyson, edited by Hugh Goodacre, paints a vivid portrait of the place where the bond between John Wycliffe and Lutterworth became a turning-point in English faith and society. Part local history book, part church history book and religious history study, it traces how a small parish on the River Swift became closely bound to the movement for english church reform. Dyson sets Lutterworth and its parish church against the broader currents of medieval english religion and pre reformation england, shaping a john wycliffe biography firmly rooted in place. It is an inviting gateway into lutterworth leicestershire history and medieval england history, ideal for church history students, general readers, and for local history enthusiasts who want their past to feel near at hand. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This carefully prepared edition returns an important witness to the earliest stirrings of reform, when parish life, scholarship and protest met in one English town. For readers of classic john wycliffe biography, for students of medieval english religion and english church reform, and for anyone building a serious library of local or church history book treasures, "Lutterworth: John Wycliffe's Town" offers both insight and atmosphere, joining historical significance to the charm of a preserved past.
