Abstract

This essay examines the possibility that John Ball acquired from a personal connection with the poet and revisits the evidence that a William Rokele, priest in Easthorpe (Essex) was the author of . Johnston then turns to John Ball, showing that he lived in Colchester, quite close to Rokele. In closing, he reads several moments from the A text as offering a radical social critique, arguing that such moments could well have found a sympathetic reader in Ball.
