Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ: A Full Critical Edition (University of Exeter Press - Exeter Medieval Texts and Studies) (v. 1)
"The fruit of a life's labours, it authoritatively and comprehensively sets out the Mirror's text, and its political and ecclesiastical contexts, for at least a generation or two to come."--Ecclesiastical History"Sargent's edition will help consolidate and guide the study of English 'vernacular theology' for some decades to come."--Ecclesiastical History"This work has received at the hand of Michael G. Sargent a sophisticated and excellent treatment. The quality of the text ... serves to make this the text to use for all future work on Love. The book is thus both the standard critical edition for scholars as well as an accessible text for undergraduates. What is clear, however, is that the writings of Nicholas Love have received within this critical edition their fullest and most comprehensive presentation."--Journal of English and Germanic Philology"This is an impressive edition that will be indispensable for future scholars of Love's Mirror, as well as for scholars interested in compositional techniques and issues of authorship in derivative texts, and in late medieval literature of spiritual instruction and its interaction with controversial and heterodox practice and doctrine in England and on the Continent."--Ons Geestelijk Erf
