The Festial has not received the attention it deserves. Ford is to
be commended for producing a full-length study and for raising
important issues.
*JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY*
[A] careful and insightful analysis [which] should be of interest
to those studying late medieval Christianity and the Reformation
because of Mirk's impact on late medieval local religious practice.
SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL A much-needed addition to the critical
canon on (il)literacy, rebellion, orthodoxy, and heresy.[...]An
important book because it both addresses a neglected, yet critical,
sermon collection and because it offers a new and compelling
portrait of what constituted orthodoxy in late medieval
England.[...]It will be of interest to scholars interested in a
wide range of areas: literacy, pre-Reformation England, political
rebellion, and hagiography.
