Pedagogy, Intellectuals, and Dissent in the Later Middle Ages: Lollardy and Ideas of Learning - Paperback

by Rita Copeland (Author), Copeland Rita (Author), Alastair Minnis (Editor)

This book is about the place of pedagogy and the role of intellectuals in medieval dissent. Focusing on the medieval English heresy known as Lollardy, Rita Copeland shows how how radical teachers transformed inherited ideas about classrooms and pedagogy as they brought their teaching to adult learners. The pedagogical imperatives of Lollard dissent were also embodied in the work of certain public figures, intellectuals whose dissident careers transformed the social category of the medieval intellectual.
