Subject Description

This subject will examine forms of heresy and protest which emerged within the societies of western Europe in the later Middle Ages, in the context of the political, social and cultural developments of the period 1300-1500. Students should develop a critical understanding of the role which religion played in the expression of dissent and in the organisation of protest in this period; and understand the manner in which the emergence of dissent and heterodoxy in this and other human societies is closely linked to the articulation of orthodoxies.
