Medieval Monasticism traces the Western Monastic tradition from its
fourth century origins in the deserts of Egypt and Syria, through
the many and varied forms of religious life it assumed during the
Middle Ages. Hugh Lawrence explores the many sided relationship
between monasteries and the secular world around them. For a
thousand years, the great monastic houses and religious orders were
a prominent feature of the social landscape of the West, and their
leaders figured as much in the political as on the spiritual map of
the medieval world. In this book many of them, together with their
supporters and critics, are presented to us and speak their minds
to us. We are shown, for instance, the controversy between the
Benedictines and the reformed monasticism of the twelfth century
and the problems that confronted women in religious life. A
detailed glossary offers readers a helpful vocabulary of the
subject. This book is essential reading for both students and
scholars of the medieval world.
