dc.description.abstract | Methods: This thesis combines textual analysis with research into the historical, religious
and literary context of early Tudor Ploughman texts, looking back to the late fourteenth century ploughman literature. In chapter one I discuss the text Of Gentylnes and Nobylyte
and the concept of gentility in relation to the three social classes. In addition, I examine the
enclosure movement in early Tudor literature, mainly focussing on A Proper Dyaloge
betwene a Gentilman and an Husbandman and Pyers Plowmans Exhortation, placing them
in their literary and political context. In chapter two I examine the doctrine of
transubstantiation in the early Tudor ploughman texts The Banckett of Johan the Reve unto
Peirs Ploughman, Luke Shepherd's John Bon and Mast Parson, and A Godly Dyalogue
and Dysputacyion Betwene Pyers Plowman and a Popysh Preest, again placing them in
their historical and religious framework. In chapter three I examine the relationship
between the priest and the ploughman. In chapter four I discuss the figure of the
ploughman. In the final chapter I answer the question why the figure of the ploughman was
so popular. In the appendix I have transcribed The Banckett from its manuscript source. | |
