Until the Reformation,
almost all sermons were written down in Latin. This is the first
scholarly study systematically to describe and analyse the collections
of Latin sermons from the golden age of medieval preaching in England,
the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Basing his studies on the
extant manuscripts, Siegfried Wenzel analyses these sermons and the
occasions when they were given. Larger issues of preaching in the later
Middle Ages such as the pastoral concern about preaching, originality
in sermon making, and the attitudes of orthodox preachers to Lollardy,
receive detailed attention. The surviving sermons and their collections
are listed for the first time in full inventories, which supplement the
critical and contextual material Wenzel presents. This book is an
important contribution to the study of medieval preaching, and will be
essential for scholars of late medieval literature, history and
religious thought.
