This is the first of a series of volumes which have become
recognised as one of the great monuments of English historical
scholarship. The late Dom David Knowles began work on the subject
in 1929; The Monastic Order in England appeared in 1948, 1955 and
1959. This volume begins the account of a whole way of Christian
life and a unique element of English civilisation, from Anglo-Saxon
times to the mid-sixteenth century. It opens with a survey of
monastic life and activities of the old orders to 1340; goes on to
record the impact of the Friars, and concludes with a general
survey of the monasteries and their world.
