This book opens a window on the lived experience of monastic reform
in the twelfth century. Drawing on a variety of textual and
material sources from the south German monastery of Petershausen,
it begins with the local process of reform and moves out into
intertwined regional social, political, and ecclesiastical
landscapes. Beach reveals how the shock of reform initiated decades
of anxiety at Petershausen and raised doubts about the community's
communal identity, its shifting internal contours and boundaries,
and its place within the broader spiritual and social landscapes of
Constance and Swabia. The Trauma of Monastic Reform goes beyond
reading monastic narratives of reform as retrospective expressions
of support for the deeds and ideals of a past generation of
reformers to explore the real human impact that the process could
have, both on the individuals who comprised the target community
and on those who lived for generations in its aftermath.
