About the Book

Nicholas Love: "The Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ" is an important work of late medieval English vernacular theology, and is made available here in a fully critical modern edition, including notes and glossary. The volume is not merely a revision of Michael Sargent's 1992 Garland best-text edition, now out of print, but a new and completely critical edition that uses the Garland volume only as its starting-point. Although based on the same manuscript, and containing some of the same introductory material, this edition includes the results of a complete collation of the 71 known surviving manuscripts and early prints. This collation demonstrates that the text exists in two separate authorial versions, of which the first, which incorporated a separate, independent translation of the Passion section, may not in the first instance have included the "Treatise on the Sacrament". The second version, on which the edition is based, is an authorial revision, undertaken, perhaps, after Love had met with Archbishop Arundel for approval of his text. The introduction discusses the evidence for the process of composition of the text, and places Love's "Mirror", properly, at the centre of current scholarly discussion of the development of vernacular theology in late medieval England and the consequences of Arundel's anti-Lollard Lambeth Constitutions

About the Author :
Michael Sargent is Professor in the Department of English, Queens College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. He has published a number of books, including De Cella in Seculum: Religious and Secular Life and Devotion in Late Medieval England (Boydell & Brewer, 1989) and Nicholas Love at Waseda (Boydell & Brewer, 1997).

Review :
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. One rarely sees any longer a definitive edition of this sort, and Exeter University Press is to be commended for bringing out such a complex book. Sargent's edition will help consolidate and guide the study of English 'vernacular theology' for some decades to come. 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. 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.
