When he meets a group of Lollards who are preaching in his village, he is drawn to their message and begins to question his own beliefs. As he becomes more involved with the Lollards, Geoffrey faces persecution and danger from the Church and its supporters.The novel explores themes of religious freedom, social justice, and individual conscience. It also provides a vivid depiction of life in medieval England, including the political and religious upheavals of the time. Through Geoffrey’s story, the novel offers a compelling portrayal of the Lollard movement and the challenges faced by those who dared to challenge the established order.Overall, ''Geoffrey The Lollard'' is a thought-provoking and engaging historical novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
