The considerable body of vernacular texts produced by the followers of Wyclif is a significant source of insight into the theology, history, and literature of the late 14th century. Meticulously edited with full apparatus and introductions, this is the first full-scale edition of the English Wycliffite sermons for the Proper and Common of saints, together with two Wycliffite tracts.
