Description

Explore the complex history of religious practices in late medieval England with this authoritative study from Cambridge University Press. This book examines how indulgences functioned as part of medieval strategies for eternity, helping individuals navigate the journey through Purgatory toward Heaven. While the Reformation and Protestant rejection gave these practices a poor reputation, this work provides a necessary re-evaluation. It looks past the historical satires of Chaucer and Langland to understand the true role of pardoners and their distribution methods. Readers will gain deep insight into the religious, social, and economic life of the era, uncovering how these practices shaped English society before the theological shifts of the Reformation.
