The Monastic Order in England by Dom David Knowles was originally
published in 1940 and was quickly recognised as a scholarly classic
and masterpiece of historical literature. It covers the period from
about 940, when St Dunstan inaugurated the monastic reform by
becoming abbot of Glastonbury, to the early thirteenth century. Its
core is a marvellous narrative and detailed analysis of monasticism
in twelfth-century England, brilliantly set in the continental
background of all the monastic movements of the day - with a vivid
evocation of Anselm, Ailred, Henry of Blois and a host of other
central figures. Dom David himself brought this second edition up
to date in 1963.
