The period in question fairly bristled with reform movements and proto-Protestant dissent, ranging from groups within the bounds of Western Christian orthodoxy -- the Franciscans, the Beguines, the Spirituals -- to those clearly outside it -- Cathars, Waldensians, Wyclif, the Lollards, the Hussites. Somewhere in between were figures such as Joachim of Fiore, Eckart, and William of Ockham. This massive study, first published over thirty years ago and now available again in reprint, attempts to discern where dissent became heresy, and the conditions and structures of medieval life that caused them both to flourish.
