Description

Explore the hidden history of English literature with Humanism, Reading, & English Literature 1430-1530 from Oxford University Press. While many believe humanism arrived in England during the early sixteenth century, author Daniel Wakelin reveals its presence in the preceding hundred years. This study examines how humanist thought shaped the reception of Chaucer and influenced major authors like Lydgate, Bokenham, Caxton, and Medwall.

A central part of this research focuses on the work of William Worcester, offering a deeper understanding of how humanist ideas permeated English writing and documents during this transformative era.
