This chapter focuses on the prominent English masters and intellectual activities during the fourteenth century. It discusses the significant changes that occurred in the academic and intellectual life at Oxford in the period from Ockham to Wyclif. Several important internal changes in the faculty of theology occurred earlier in the century. Some of the changes include the reduction in the length of study, change in the written scholastic products, and the change in the content and methods of exposition and debate within the theological faculty. Thirteenth-century Oxford theology was exempted from the analytical benefits of logic or the illustrative and comparative uses of problems and examples derived from natural philosophy. Oxford during Ockham's period has provided an incomplete but nonetheless substantial body of texts and information on its theological faculty. This chapter also examines the relationship between Paris and Oxford and the comparative status of the two universities.
