The lord in his hall, the monk in his cloister: we often think of
medieval people as living most of their lives in the constant
company of others. But there was always another middle ages,
characterised by the hermit's solitude as well as by the private
apartments of the rich. By the later middle ages more and more men
and women - including monks and nuns - aspired to enjoy time and
space apart for purposes of prayer, recreation and scholarship.
Diana Webb traces these trends in this highly original book.
Ranging widely from Roman times to the Renaissance, and covering
both religious and secular life, Privacy and Solitude uses an
unusual approach to illuminate a major historical development.
