This was not only due to antiquarian interests. The recourse to ancient myth served the cultural self-assertion of the learned clerical elites, whose expert status was increasingly threatened.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe present study tries to explain this late blossoming of Anglo-Latin mythography and its development against the background of a larger controversy around religious language and clerical knowledge. The books also introduces the most important representatives of the movement, like Robert Holcot and Thomas Walsinghams as well as critics like John Wyclif.","brand":"Bernhard Hollick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268369821947,"sku":"9789004700277","price":162.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/mythographie-in-england-1330-1450-9789004700277","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
