This book is the first survey of the whole of the Doctrinale and it argues that there is more to Net-ter than anti-Lollard polemic. The author examines the principal topics in Netter’s work — God, hu-manity, Christ, the Church, religious life, prayer, the sacraments — and he makes the case that there is a definite plan which links the various parts of the Doctrinale into a whole giving it a certain theo-logical unity.

More than merely containers for holy bodies and objects, reliquaries powerfully mediated the ex-perience of holy objects for their medieval audi-ences, creating socially charged spaces. This book demonstrates how the sacred space of reliquaries intersected with the territorial spaces of secular kingship, with the hierarchical spaces of monastic enclosures, and with the devotional spaces of cultic communities.

This book is the first survey of the whole of the Doctrinale and it argues that there is more to Net-ter than anti-Lollard polemic. The author examines the principal topics in Netter’s work — God, hu-manity, Christ, the Church, religious life, prayer, the sacraments — and he makes the case that there is a definite plan which links the various parts of the Doctrinale into a whole giving it a certain theo-logical unity.

“(...) in its pervasive questioning and complicat-ing of earlier accounts and its opening of new territories for pursuit of the “conceptualisation” of late-medieval English vernacularity, the vol-ume makes an important contribution.”

More than merely containers for holy bodies and objects, reliquaries powerfully mediated the ex-perience of holy objects for their medieval audi-ences, creating socially charged spaces. This book demonstrates how the sacred space of reliquaries intersected with the territorial spaces of secular kingship, with the hierarchical spaces of monastic enclosures, and with the devotional spaces of cultic communities.

From medieval ballads of yeoman resistance and gentrified Renaissance stories of Lord Robin versus bad King John, the tradition survived lustily into modern film, through which Robin Hood, played by major stars like Fairbanks, Flynn, and Costner, has become a truly international hero of natural law. This richly varied tradition enables scholars to study how different periods have understood the concept of Robin’s noble resistance to wrongful authority.
