More about the book
The book explores the evolving perceptions of John Wyclif, highlighting his polarizing legacy from the fifteenth century to the present. Initially viewed through the lens of heresy or valor, scholarly opinions shifted significantly in the nineteenth century, moving towards objectivity as confessional biases diminished. The emergence of professional historians further refined this understanding, especially post-World War II. As contemporary scholarship continues to develop, new insights into Wyclif's life and impact are still being discovered, reflecting a dynamic engagement with history.
