520 $a"Nicholas Love's Mirror has received suprisingly little scholarly attention and is often contextualized in terms of its role in the Wycliffite controversy. David Falls investigates new possibilities for understanding the composition, circulation, function and use of Love's Mirror by examining both the textual modification and additions, presenting a nuanced picture not only of the Mirror's production, circulation and function, but also the dynamic and flourishing devotio-literary culture of late medieval England" --$cProvided by publisher.
