Synopsis
Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, Vol. 14: And Popular Literature of the Middle Ages
Among the capellani of the quiet monastery of Haghmon, at the commencement of the fifteenth century, lived one, a truly penitent and righteous monk, who atoned for the excesses of his early life by the devotion of an enthusiast, and called the priesthood to their duty by the voice of litera ture, even during the amictions of the blind and the deaf. He was no Lollard. A pious priest, denouncing the opinions of Wickliffe, teaching that dissent and heresy would assuredly lead to damna tion, he was yet well aware that the return of the leaders of his religion to their early discipline, was the only chance left for restoring orthodoxy. His name was John Audelay, or Awdlay, as the name is spelt different ways in the same manuscript.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book offers a unique window into medieval religious thought and practice through a collection of poems written by the Shropshire monk John Audelay. Composed during the early 1400s, these poems provide a vivid account of the spiritual beliefs and everyday lives of people living through a period of immense social and religious change. Audelay's poems reveal a deep concern with issues of sin, salvation, and the nature of faith. His work vividly illuminates his personal struggles with his own mortality, his fears of damnation, and his longing for divine grace. Beyond its devotional aspects, the collection offers a valuable historical account, providing insight into the role of priests and the wider religious controversies of the time. Audelay's distinctive use of the Shropshire dialect adds a further layer of interest to his work. His use of vernacular language allows him to connect with his audience on a personal level, reflecting the growing importance of local identity. The poems are filled with vivid imagery, humor, and earthy wisdom, offering a rich tapestry of human experience. Through Audelay's eyes, readers are granted a glimpse into a world of piety, doubt, and the enduring search for spiritual enlightenment.
