Description

"Steve Ely's new book takes its inspiration and its title from Incendium Amoris (`The Fire of Love') by the fourteenth century saint and mystic Richard Rolle, 'the hermit of Hampole'. The book offers a vision of pre-Reformation and post-industrial England through the eyes of the trespasser, the poacher, the recusant, and the revolutionary, in solidarity with the swinish multitude against the landed power. Contesting language and landscape and addressing issues including carnality, class, skepticism and belief, Incendium Amoris is a peasant's revolt against the accelerating cultural, social and environmental devastations of globalizing capital, a guerrilla-pastoral prophecy of a yeoman-anarchist utopia."--Page 4 of cover.
