This source book offers a comprehensive treatment of solitary
religious lives in England in the late Middle Ages. It covers both
enclosed recluses (anchorites) and free-wandering hermits, and
explores the relationship between them. Although there has been a
recent surge of interest in the solitary vocations, especially
anchorites, this has focused almost exclusively on a small number
of examples. The field is in need of reinvigoration, and this book
provides it. Featuring translated extracts from a wide range of
Latin, Middle English and Old French sources, as well as a
scholarly introduction and commentary from one of the foremost
experts in the field, Hermits and anchorites in England is an
invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike. -- .
