Thomas Hoccleve : Religious Reform, Transnational Poetics, and the Invention of Chaucer, Hardcover by Langdell, Sebastian J., ISBN 1786941295, ISBN-13 9781786941299, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Taking a different approach to English poet Hoccleve (1368–1426) than conventional treatments of him, Langdell characterizes him as someone who cultivated, throughout his works, the role of the poetic mediator-intermediary in the most virtuous sense, and also in the most explicitly Christian sense-and who uses his poetic works to engage with contemporary religious reform movements and religious debate. He situates Hoccleve firmly within the context of heresy, orthodox reform, and ecclesiastical controversy, and argues that he was less interested in securing earthly fame than in creating works that contributed to the spiritual health of English society.
