Many of those reformers turned back to early fifteenth-century Lollard texts, recycling and reprinting them to serve the needs, both political and spiritual, of the burgeoning English Protestant reform movement. The anti-clerical and reformist Lollard text, \u003cem\u003eThe praier and complaynte of the ploweman vnto Christe\u003c\/em\u003e, was one of the works used by sixteenth century English Protestants in their struggle for religious reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an old-spelling, critical edition of the version of \u003cem\u003eThe praier and complaynte of the ploweman vnto Christe\u003c\/em\u003ethat resurfaced in the 1530s. Demonstrating the continuity of ideas between the Lollards and the Reformists, Douglas Parker situates \u003cem\u003eThe praier and complaynte\u003c\/em\u003e firmly in the tradition of English Reformist borrowing of texts, and argues for William Tyndale as editor of the sixteenth-century version of \u003cem\u003eThe praier and complaynte\u003c\/em\u003e. Parker examines the two extant copies of the manuscript, and comments on the work's structure and reformist content. He presents full historical, literary, and biographical information in his introduction, and a full line-by-line commentary on the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis careful, meticulous work is a revealing look at the ideology of Protestant religious struggles in England from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Parker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442655003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442655003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Douglas Parker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850346377471,"sku":"9781442655003","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-praier-and-complaynte-of-douglas-parker-9781442655003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
